I kid you not, @itch.io has been taken down by Funko of "Funko Pop" because they use some trash "AI Powered" Brand Protection Software called Brand Shield that created some bogus Phishing report to our registrar, iwantmyname, who ignored our response and just disabled the domain

I was hoping to find a statement from the aggressor, but it seems to be too early.

    I hope this teaches them the valuable lesson of always having domains with more than one registrar.

    Or, hopefully, we migrate to a system more advanced than DNS registrars where your “name” can be taken down by an unrelated third party. The current system sucks and the fact that even the Fediverse relies on it (accounts are tied to domains, making full account migration impossible) makes even the remains of my pre-graduate CS student brain rumble.
