Brandshield has been deleting and rewriting their non-statement deflecting responsibility repeatedly while hiding all the comments calling out their cascade of BS. Here is their current statement blaming iwantmyname and link to the hidden replies:

> We want to address recent reports surrounding a website takedown.

> BrandShield serves as a trusted partner to many brands. Our AI-driven platform detects potential threats and provides analysis, and in this case, an abuse was identified from an @itchio subdomain.

> We identified and reported the infringement, and requested a takedown of the URL in question – not of the entire http://itch.io domain. The temporary takedown of the website was a decision made by the service providers, not BrandShield.

> BrandShield remains committed to supporting our clients by identifying potential digital threats and infringements. We encourage platforms to implement stronger self-regulation systems that prevent such issues from escalating.

Note: they are non specific about how the "abuse" was submitted to iwantmyname as "fraud and phishing", not "copyright infringement", so they are covering up their fuckup.

Love that last part.

Clear blame.

>>notthe+(OP)
BrandShield serves as a trusted partner

Obviously, that trust is wildly misplaced.

"You as the innocent party should have prevented us from shitting on you. This is really on you.". Like, "if you didn't want to get hit by a car you shouldn't have been walking on the sidewalk".

Utter scum.
