Some requests seem to be so garbage it makes me sad. For example https://transparencyreport.google.com/copyright/request/1195... has "localhost", "unknown", and "apple.com". I hope we get some laws which allow saying "your request has so many bad links, we're going to ignore all of it and future ones until quality improves".
If you, as a creator get three strikes (for doing something wrong), you lose your channel. Why not the same for copyright holders... three false accusations, and it's the end.
Because Youtube wouldn't be able to enforce that threat. If a copyright holder complains about an IP violation, Youtube has to address it, or the copyright holder will go to court.
If Youtube starts saying "you've abused our report system, so you're not allowed to make reports anymore", the copyright holder will just respond "alright, we'll sue you every time we find a copyright violation on your platform from now on".
For this to change, content platforms like Youtube would need some sort of special legal status that would say "Provided that we do some reasonable effort to weed out IP violations, we're allowed to ignore a certain percentage of IP claims if we think the claimant is a patent troll" or something similar. I doubt it will happen, though, most governments are in the pocket of media companies and default to assuming content platforms are guilty until proven innocent.
I agree that "localhost" and "unknown" aren't right, but "apple.com" could be correct. Those reports show only the domain and don't show the exact url. You have to drill down and eventually supply an email to get the exact urls.
I agree in theory it could be correct. But there's a decent chance that if you submitted a batch of urls including invalid ones, your apple.com submission is bogus.
So like if the lords of stackoverflow did management consulting for the likes of Google's internal processes? Sounds like a fantastic idea
Your question is unclear please rephrase your question to satisfy my own unclear and opaque standards of clarity and resubmit with low probability of acceptance in 4 to 9 weeks welcome to googo have a lovely day...
- in stackexchanges case someone is killing even popular questions with valid, helpful questions and answers because of their subjective opinion
- in this case it is quite obvious that anyone who asks for localhost/127.0.0.1 to be taken down either has no idea what they are doing or haven't vetted the data.
