2 years agoTo be fair, Etsy’s automated systems will take down listings without vetting the takedown claim, as long as the fields in said claim are filled out with non-blatantly false info. There’s little to no fact-checking on the backend and fraudulent takedowns are a known method by scammers to get competing (legit?) shops discredited.
On one hand, yes, use the DMCA takedown request form. On the other, fuck Etsy sideways with a busted rake.
Ah, yes, the ol’ victim blame schtick. GTFO with that juvenile shit. This isn’t some timeless chicken/egg quandary, son.
