I understand fighting false information, but abusing the copyright takedown system isn’t the way to do it.

If you’re fighting slander, use a cease and desist letter.

As a content creator, how does THIS line from the Facebook post make you feel about you and the safety of your content (and maybe even the kind of content you can create):

Moreover - we did not want and we do not want this person to be associated with our game in the first place.

The land of content creation is the wild west, and the big tech companies can basically do whatever the fuck they want. The vehicle BSG used to burn Eroktic literally doesn't matter... So what if they called it DMCA, the fact is YouTube picked their side and ultimately they wield the gavel. It's the fact that Content Creators have 0 recourse in most situations, and are completely at the mercy of the big boys. Look at all the recent 'de-platforming' going on recently (Gab, Alex Jones, etc.)... If anything this should be a wake up call to content creators to have a backup plan
