It’s semantics really. Yes, Twitter can stick their neck out and ignore it, but it almost never happens. The end result is that Twitter understandably doesn’t want to have their legal team review every single DMCA request for validity.

The law is clearly broken but service providers like Twitter are caught in the middle.

As someone that had to deal with these reports, and we were tiny, the volume is insane. I cannot imagine the number of complaints Twitter receives.

"The end result is that Twitter understandably doesn’t want to have their legal team review every single DMCA request for validity."

I mean, humans are still involved in the process almost everywhere anyway, so it's not like they save a tremendous amount of overhead to flag weird ones.

"The law is clearly broken but service providers like Twitter are caught in the middle."

Sure, that i'm not gonna argue with
