The Streisand effect is an unintended consequence of attempts to hide, remove, or censor information, where the effort instead increases public awareness of the information.

Yez 🤡
Someone is racing Elon in an "any % speed run to completely destroy an established companies credibility."
Elom should buy CrowdStrike, rename it clownstrike, send the DMCA, and then run it into the ground like Twitter.
Yes and no here. Businesses by and large won't stop using them because of this. And if they succeed, it's a deterrent for others.

Senk received a DMCA notice from Cloudflare's trust and safety team, which was then hosting the parody site.
Cloudflare sent themselves a DMCA takedown notice, instead of just taking down the content from their own web hosting for violating their policies. Weird.
Cloudflare and Crowdstrike are different companies.
DMCA takedown notices are not preemptively judged on their merits before filing. Anyone can file a frivolous takedown notice, just as anyone can file a frivolous lawsuit.
Yes parody is protected speech under fair use. Yes, companies are required to account for fair use before filing takedown notices. These things would come up if the case goes to trial which is unlikely.
I support the right of clowns to strike for whatever reason
They've gotta do something in the face of ballooning expenses...
Well everyone nose about inflation, but what about a clown's right to shoes?
Shoes? They could use a bigger car first. Have you seen how many people they have to cram in there?
Bigger cars!? Have you seen the price of pies in this economy?
Buddy, I don't want to hear about clowns and their creampies, or whatever it is you're watching online.
Whatever they’re watching, it’s fucking funny.
You guys are awesome
Helium prices are TOO DAMN HIGH
Sounds like they could use some more sites linking to them to improve SEO. https://clownstrike.lol/
It's blocked on my work computer, saying it's a malware website
"The category of https://clownstrike.lol/ is Phishing
This site has been reviewed recently. We are not accepting category change requests at this time."
Fortinet filter lmao

Lmao what a legend. How would DMCA even apply in this case though? Parodies are free speech
They don't. Companies regularly abuse DMCA notices because the law REQUIRES a hosting company to take down the information immediately.
It allows 14 days for the same information to be restored after receiving a counter notice.
I think if DMCAs are abused, it should limit the company's ability to file one in the future.
and if not... regular people could do the same

I don't see anything on that site that infringes the DMCA. At best they might have a trademark violation claim, but DMCA is only for copyright claims, not trademark claims.

Maybe laylow and STFU crowdstrike? You know what never mind, pour fuel on the fire burning below you - go out screaming you turds.
way to go, dorks. now i've heard of this site that i would have never heard of if you hadn't streissanded it. and i for one approve
Funny that clownstrike.com redirects to crowdstrike.com. I tried this before seeing the .lol domain. Lol
told Ars that he has no plans to move ClownStrike back to Cloudflare's hosting service. Instead, he responded by suggesting that Cloudflare update its abuse-reporting system to confirm receipt of counter notices, build a web portal where users can track abuse reports,
Good suggestions
and perhaps most significantly, revoke CSC's ability to submit abuse reports as a penalty for sending a bogus takedown
Pretty sure they can't. DMCA has strict rules that providers must follow to avoid liability.
Imagine believing that large enough companies would be so heinous as to follow the law. What villains they'd be!

While parody sites are not the intended target of these efforts, it’s possible for such sites to be inadvertently impacted. We will review the process and, where appropriate, evolve ongoing anti-fraud activities.
Hmm, I think I've heard something like that before...
But it pledged Wednesday to keep software glitches like last week’s from happening again, and to publicly release a more detailed analysis when it becomes available.
The company added that it is developing a new check for its validation system “to guard against this type of problematic content from being deployed in the future.
"Oops!"
My name is Nathan Fielder, And I graduated from one of Canada's top business schools with really good grades.
The plan: turn this website into the world's first parody cybersecurity platform
Clown Strike’s only real crime is kerning.
thats not kerning, that's justification ☝️🤓️
kerning refers to the spacing between individual letters in the words, and justification is a method of typograghic alignment where space between words is stretched to make text flush with both left and right margins

Apparently, Cloudflare never received either of Senk's counter notices, which is a problem since Cloudflare only allows a 72-hour window to contest a takedown notice.
This sounds like ClownFlare outright lying through its teeth. Probably not even to defend ClownStrike, but to not look incompetent.

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.

They should have used their software to bring it down. We all know that will do it.

I don’t see anything on the parody ClownStrike site that infringes the DMCA. At best, Crowdstrike might have a valid trademark violation claim, but DMCA is only for copyright infringement claims, not trademark claims.
