Censorship flood: takedown notices to Google increased by 711,887% in four years

The problem isn’t the number of Takendown notices is how unregulated they are. I worked for a while with a company who has sent legitimate notices in a country that has serious piracy problems (big streaming sites posing as real vod services require people to pay for them to use them, mostly cam movies on them), they used people who had great knowledge of the priate world and they only sent notices for legitimate violations.

The problem is you can send a takedown notice for anything and take it down.

You can also send a takedown notice for something you own and have it not taken down. The system is completely broken.
