Takedowns AI is carpet bombing the web with baseless DMCA (Copyright) complaints

Takedowns AI is a takedown service for OnlyFans models. When they find a website that is hosting an OnlyFans model's proprietary content, they file a DMCA complaint on behalf of the model.

The problem is that Takedowns AI is WILDLY inaccurate and is flagging content based on simple word association. Websites with zero affiliation to adult content are getting product pages removed from Google for no reason at all.

Google removes first and asks questions later:

"It is Google's policy to remove copyrighted content when the copyright holder or their authorized representative alleges that a use is infringing. Therefore we are in the process of removing the reported content from Google Search results for users globally."

Something must be done soon, as scaled baseless DMCA complaints can eliminate a lot of value from small businesses.

My thoughts are:

1. Takedowns AI should have their DMCA complaint privileges temporarily revoked.

2. Google could force a human in the loop for DMCA complaints.
