(From the official itch account on Bluesky) I kid you not, @itch.io has been taken down by Funko of “Funko Pop” because they use some trash “AI Powered” Brand Protection Software called Brand Shield that created some bogus Phishing report to our registrar, iwantmyname, who ignored our response and just disabled the domain
(Continuation via Twitter) Also, for transparency, we did take the disputed page down as soon as we got the notice because it’s not worth fighting stuff like that. Regardless, our registrar’s automated system likely kicked to disable the domain since no one read our confirmation of removal
you can’t make this up
I have to suffer the dead eyed stare of these abominations every time I visit my local book store. Who the hell is buying those?
Sue them for damages.
Automatic Ai powered fraud is still fraud.
Automated systems talking to automated systems
What the fuck, I assumed that this issue is resolved by now but turns out itch.io is still can’t be accessed
