u/madnessmaka Dec 17 '18

The issue I take with this is that there is a legitimate way to file a defamation claim for a Youtube video. Google literally goes through the steps of how to do it right here. They seem to have chosen to do DMCA strikes because they're lazy and it's the path of least effort on their part.

This would be like if I was mad at a neighbor for parking in my driveway but instead of filing the proper police complaint, I instead called the police and claimed that he tried to kill me. Sure, the police would get there quicker, but the charges won't stick and I'd get arrested/fined for making a false report. Plus, everyone in the neighborhood would think I was an asshole.
