False. A takedown can be very costly in terms of lost income for the victim of the false takedown. It is a legally prescribed process.

Imagine if you could DMCA-strike a toilet - your toilet is pirated and is being dismantled immediately.

I didn't say it wouldn't be costly - I'm sure in many cases it is. But it is not a legal process - the platform just removes your content. Just because a law requires platforms to do something, does not mean this is a legal process or proceeding.

Just like if a law requires business to enforce mask-wearing, and then I get kicked out for not wearing a mask, that was not a legal proceeding. They just kicked me out.
