I had a business a decade ago where our competitor hired someone to consistently email PayPal and tell them we were actually selling CSAM. PayPal had to act every time by immediately blocking our account and putting us out of business for a week while they checked and saw that we were not in fact selling anything untoward.

If you're an asshole there are many methods online to really screw with your competitors :(

The sad part is that legitimate users are the ones being affected when the content actually infringes on other persons right. There must be a faster way to counternotice without the lose of revenue in case something untoward is happening.
