Just a friendly heads up. Anyone who wants to avoid Twitter, since it has become so toxic, can use the domain xcancel.com in place of twitter.com or x.com. like so: https://xcancel.com/3blue1brown/status/1876291319955398799 This links to independent Nitter to provide a full thread.

That doesn't have the reply from ChainPatrol: Hello! This was a false positive in our systems at @ChainPatrol . We are retracting the takedown request, and will conduct a full post-mortem to ensure this does not happen again. We have been combatting a huge volume of fake YouTube videos that are attempting to steal user funds. Unfortunately, in our mission to protect users from scams, false positives (very) occasional…

> Taco Bell won the franchise war and is the only restaurant remaining. When I saw that movie when I was small, I thought that was literally Taco Bell, McDonald's, and Burger King, et al fighting with tanks, etc. Taco Bell emerged victorious after a bloody struggle.
I am okay with this timeline. At least it has better conversation topics than most of our current timeline.

A Taco Bell can be constructed in one day (sans pouring the concrete pad). They know how to capitalize.
There’s a payday loan biz that has taken over a former Taco Bell site in Hamilton, Ontario. It’s a bizarre look as the detached building still features all the weird faux-Mexican motifs of the former tenant. It’s also one of the first things seen when entering the city via the most significant gateway from Toronto.
You have to think of YouTube and other platforms as a mechanism for distribution, not a source of truth. If you're a creator it's essential to have your own place on the web were you can host and publish anything without fear that it will be taken down for any reason — even accidentally. As it becomes cheap to automate both creating takedown requests and processing requests, the volume of spam requests is going to sk…

This is where headcanon [1] can be a lot of fun. Just accept that they really did fight a war. It's not like it doesn't particularly fit the milieu... [1]: https://www.merriam-webster.com/wordplay/words-were-watching...

Anything literally goes.

You can definitely use your IP to take down scams. If someone is using your name or your company's name to scam people, it is in your interest to save your name and provide people assurance that they can do business with your name.
>You can definitely use your IP to take down scams. Key point being, that you have IP to use in the first place. But the parents' contention is that ChainPatrol and/or their clients don't have such IP, and are merely weaponizing the copyright/trademark takedown process to take down scams, which isn't the same thing.
What you are saying is that these claims never relate to IP and it was only a false positive of malicious intent?

I agree in principle with diversifying your online presence, but as a practical solution it doesn’t solve the problem. It would be like if someone came to you about a termite problem in their house and you told them the solution was to have multiple houses. At best that is a defense mechanism not a solution.
Your analogy doesn't match my statement. I am saying there should be a canonical location for what you create that is on a URL that you own. Everything else is distribution. You built a house on someone else's land, and then they tore it down. Build a house on your own land, as small as that land may be. From there you can create roads, bridges, tunnels to other people's land. On the web land is infinite. You can mak…
Also I think the analogy is pretty solid because it clearly illustrates the emergent benefits of being on a large centralized platform rather than a random URL. Land might be infinite but attention and clicks are not.

That's a use of a trademark claim, not a copyright claim. And a good example of why trademark protection is valuable.
