This perspective is completely baffling to me. This was an algorithmic mistake not a targeted attacked, Twitch is also a free service the use of which is a privilege not a right. This is just a product of the business environment surrounding copyrighted works and advertising, Twitch would be perfectly happy to continue raking in cash from everything on the platform, but that just isn't possible. If you just think about how things work for a second its obvious that twitch and other video platforms have a huge incentive NOT to take things down, but somehow people discount the profit motive for these services.


Yet it doesn't baffle you that you can be a victim of a algorithmic mistake, and you can't even reach anyone that can help you?

This was an algorithmic mistake of a celebrity, what about the other algorithmic mistakes?
