Agreed 100%, it’s tactics similar to slapp lawsuits, shouldn’t be allowed and require jail time if used in that way

Using the DMCA as a censorship tool needs to be a criminal offense subject to jail time.

Why that’s literally what it was designed to do

DMCA was designed to prevent intellectual property infringement, not as a censorship tool.

Yes that’s exactly what the person you replied to was saying.
DMCA was built to save IP, however it’s routinely abused and used for censorship. And not a single thing is done to the abusers so they continue with their nonsense.

No they literally said that DMCA was designed for censorship…

It is, but this isn’t. The DMCA doesn’t mention Trademark. That’s a separate section of law because copyright and trademark are different things.
Crowdstrike submitting a DMCA takedown for alleged Trademark infringement isn’t how it’s supposed to work at all. Likely because they know this isn’t actually a Trademark infringement case.
Cloudflare’s automated system not being smart enough to see that is fine. Their abuse/counterclaim process being broken isn’t.

The ClownStrike person didn’t attempt to use Cloudflare’s counterclaim system.

Cloudflare’s counterclaim system didn’t open a ticket when the notification email was replied to.
That’s the kind of nonsense you expect from a local municipality hosting solution. Not one of the biggest on the Internet.
