The admin of the Mastodon instance cyberspace.social just received an AI powered notice to delete the parody account @microsoft@lea.pet

I hate AI and Microsoft as much as the next guy, but to me, this looks like a grey area. The name and logo (all most people will see of this account) aren’t really clearly parody… there is a faint smile in one of the squares, but at 16 pixels tall, you’d never see it.
“It came from somewhere else so I don’t have to respect a takedown notice” is not a valid defense.
This is certainly an interesting hill for the fediverse to choose to die on.
This could be an intentional first attack by big tech to get a knife into the fediverse. Showing a judge blantant disregard for takedowns isn’t a great look, and they have a LOT of lawyers.
Just simply move outside of the united shits’ jurisdiction.
That’s definitely a good idea. I wonder where there is left to host servers that aren’t controlled technofacists. The world is rapidly, and sadly, running out. I feel like a count y could make a killing just by being a country of “we don’t care what the hell you host”
Bot’s not even literate. “With this being said” is the introduction to a contrary statement, like “on the other hand” or “despite this.” It’s not a declaration of “we have spoken; make it so.”
Great use of AI, honestly. Just mass spam takedown notices to anyone who mentions your products. Not like there’s any sort of repercussions for sending baseless legal threats.
simply respond with this.
Nope, parody is free speech. Suck it, Microsoft.
