Funko fucking took down itchio

@itch.io:
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

kind of speechless at this . hopefully they can get it back up quickly

multiple elements to this. the registrar being a big suck, another dumb “ai-powered” bit of garbage causing suffering, funko…

I found out to my horror they are local to my area. Just like other infamous company OceanGate.
