I wonder if it's a part of some sort of cyberattack. Someone knows that deleting a file, containing a "1" or "0" from target's gdrive will break something they want, so they filed a false DMCA claim.

AI-aided management decisions can't come soon enough. Decision Model and Notation made big headway on this, but I don't see it discussed. They're fancy decision trees but can handle complex factors and are designed to be intuitive to reason about.
That’s begging for some leaky abstraction to absolutely ruin your business.

> It's the 21st century and copyright is absolute nonsense. This is an awful, terrible take. We know that intellectual property is much more artificial than pretty much every other type of property right, but we still want governments to enforce copyright and other IP law because it's a good way to make sure that people have a financial incentive to be creative or do R&D. Copyright needs reform (and many types of DRM…
> we still want governments to enforce copyright and other IP law because it's a good way to make sure that people have a financial incentive to be creative or do R&D. I have to believe that there must be alternatives. We need better post-copyright business models. This artificial scarcity thing is simply not going to work anymore. At least not without sacrificing everything about computers that make them special. Ma…
I think you are headed down the wrong path here. You don’t need to eliminate intellectual property to preserve general purpose computing. You just have to change the guardrails on how IP enforcement works.
They’ve changed many times and they can change again. And it’s way more achievable than ripping copyright out of society entirely.

I think that quote should be flipped. "A computer can never be held accountable, therefore a computer must always make management decisions."
I thought the same as that's our current reality. "It wasn't us, it was the computer!" Things are only going to get worse

I always omit SSN, but often can't get away with it.

You wanna tell that to phone carriers, internet service providers, electricity providers, and even water providers?
I'm curious if it was related to the file name. I created a few 1-byte files with just "1" in them, with different names, including "output04.txt". No problems so far. Also uploaded variations with "\n" and "\r\n" after the "1". And enabled sharing to anyone with the link. No issues so far. Google drive does support metadata like a description and comments. I wonder if someone posted some copyrighted text in a commen…
My bet is someone did a DMCA claim on a file containing 1, either by mistake or as a joke. Then Automated Stupidity took over.
