As I pointed out, this is NOT the same as YouTube copyright strikes or the like, which can be fully automated.People need authorisation and sign off to send out DMCAs. If they then send them to people they shouldn't, that's failure of process, that's not an accident. Misclicking is an accident. Selecting the wrong recipient is an accident. But then it would be clear to the person receiving it that you were talking nonsense, and quickly cleared up.There was nothing accidental here. This was intentional, but when blowback occurred, people at a higher level got involved and the decision was reversed.Also, as I explained, an automated/AI-based DMCA wouldn't carry legal weight - most likely you'd at least involve DocuSign/AdobeSign or similar and have a lawyer sign off on it. That's a human who should be at least thinking "Hmm do I do this?". If they're not trained to check - again, not an accident, a failure of process.</blockquote>
