"Funko did not request a takedown of the @itchio platform."

Man, I fucking hate corpo-speak like this.

Yes, you didn't personally make the request against itchio.... But you hired this company to enforce "brand protection" and that's what they did. So you did actually request the takedown, but you just did so by authorizing another party to make such requests on your behalf.

This is like a military General saying "hey I didn't commit any warcrimes, I just gave the orders to my men to commit warcrimes!"

Translation: "we didn't think this predatory behavior would affect our bottom line, and we deeply regret that it has."

AI to determine people's livelihoods, huh?

By the way, who's the Brandshield CEO? Asking for a friend.

Corporate doing corporate shit. And then asking why people hate corporations and their CEOs.

[–] ipkpjersi@lemmy.ml 12 points 6 days ago (1 children)

People used to think so highly of CEOs, that they must be doing something right if they got to where they are. They must be smarter and have all the answers.

Now people are realizing CEOs are just rich scumbags.

Yep, I'm sure most of them just bought their positions there to have power over society.

The fact that a legit website could be taken down just by a big corporation claim, without any further third party or gubernamental investigation. Is indeed frightening.

If only we had a few more Luigi, these corpo-shit would think twice

They really like to show off how much power they have and how self defense is, indeed, justified.

They do and undo like there's no consequences whatsoever.

They always talk about how giving coverage leads to copycats. Typically that has meant me getting pissed at the over coverage of mass shootings, but now I'm sitting here waiting like... Okay? Any day now? Maybe not.
