Is there a legal requirement to do a DMCA take down of something the copyright holder doesn't know about?
If you put something on Twitter mentioning certain cryptocurrency keywords (e.g. MetaMask), you'll get reply tweets from bots in a few seconds with fake support documents hosted on Google drive.
My sense is that this is what they are trying to stop.

They do the same thing for copyrighted material, they can match a hash and nuke a file off the service at the drop of a hat.
