Bluesky Post (this was also posted on twitter)
I was hoping to find a statement from the aggressor, but it seems to be too early.
I believe all of this is legal thanks to DMCA.
The DMCA doesn’t make false requests legal (I’m also not sure if this specific issue falls under the DMCA), but it does fail to define any meaningful penalty for making them.
They made a false fraud report, not a DMCA takedown (which shouldn’t have taken down the entire site anyway).
Domain names arent copyrightable. This falls into trademark laws.
Maybe if they followed the dmca process
