> Google (Robot): We'll take your extension down

Me: Hey, this must be a mistake

> Google (Robot): No mistake, review these policies, your extension violates one of them

Me: It does not violate any of them, this is a mistake!

> Google (Finally human): Oh, sorry, a mistake.

Obviously someone just needs to create a robot that automatically replies to the takedown notices and disputes them, thus closing the loop!

Somehow I expect that using a bot against their bot violates user TOS part #63836370 section YQ, and they will immediately lock your accounts, associated business accounts, delete the data and offer zero recourse.

And laugh about it, because they think it's funny.

I had the same reaction. But then the individual programmer/founder won't risk their robot messing this up, while for google it's a numbers game.

Also, someone would have to program that bot and can you even imagine how dead inside you'd feel if that was your life?

Using AI to suggest a reply or to use human approval seems like a low risk approach.

Would you feel dead inside if your tool helped developers keep their projects online? Sounds rewarding to fight the big guy and keep cool projects online.

I am opposed to any job that I feel shouldn't (need to) exist

Step 3 doesn't happen usually. If it did, no one would be upset.

[aendruk → lonelappde]

Happened to me twice. Still upset.

Donotpay probably would if you passed the idea
