Given the amount of false notices in the past (not to us, in general), there is absolutely a ton of automation without human oversight in there, and that was already the case long before AI.

Companies like “CTW Anti-Piracy 2” and “Altitude Film Sales” or "Altitude Film Sales 2” (not sure if there are multiple types of Altitude Film Sales, the Lumen notice lists them with a 2 but the complaint text without) clearly don’t care about the damage they do to their own reputation. In the end, most people won’t care anyway and it won’t meaningfully harm their reputation even if they fuck up on a significantly larger scale. It’s not like they’d have to fear any legal repercussions for these false statements either, as the only part they swear under penalty of perjury is that they are authorized by the copyright holder.

doesn’t seem to be the case, at least there is not enough information to link the two cases.

Hi,

the immediate issue is resolved, and we’re looking to extend our monitoring in the coming days to have better insights on the underlying issue, as well as alerts before it would get to the point of throwing errors.

For some reason Lemmy has been having significantly more open file handles (including e.g. connections) than usual, leading to a denial of service. At this point it’s unknown whether this is caused by a bug in Lemmy, an attack, or something else.
