That is, unfortunately incorrect. They write it up and their pet legislators introduce it. Yes it has to get voted on and there is more to it, but the actual verbiage? That is all too often written by lobbyists.
Please inform yourself of the adjacency of lobbyist centers and capital hill.
Politicians don’t write shit, they get given frameworks and proposals from lobbyists and “industry leaders”, sometimes they get made into law directly without edit, especially when it comes to smaller ordinances.
There are designated handlers from the larger lobby groups for designated politicans and congress-critters.
They should wear jumpsuits like nascar, maybe you and the public would understand it better.
Edit: Looking at the rest of your replies you’re getting downvoted to oblivion for denying reality.
No, the DMCA (which does overall suck) has severe penalties for false takedown requests. It also has severe penalties for failing to honor takedown requests, though, so YouTube made its own system that is decidedly not DMCA and allows any big company to take down videos with impunity regardless of whether their claims have any merit.
Not any that I’m aware of. Most takedowns you hear about aren’t actually DMCA takedowns, they’re platform-specific systems that have no legal standing and no penalties for false requests. However, the DMCA does specifically say that false requests are a form of perjury.
This is really less to do with any companies and more to do with poorly written copyright legislation (DMCA).
Who uh … who do you think wrote the DMCA? That is definitely one of the shitty systems I am referrimg to above.
…companies do not write legislation. Politicians do.
Oh boy. Have you heard of this concept calling lobbying?
Your politicians don’t represent you, they represent the highest bidder, which are the wealthy corporations trying to enslave you.
Yes. Lobbyists also don’t write legislation.

It’s not incorrect.

They’re just refusing to be wrong, they’re doubling down on a technicality, not on who actually authors the legislation text.
Your own links are contradicting you.
Oh you sweeeeeet summer child you.
Oh, honey, God bless your little heart…

I don’t need to inform myself of anything. I already know. The lobbyists do not write legislation.
Willful ignorance is still ignorance.
Agreed.
Wow. You’re cooked.
I’d love to know more about your life, your living situation… how you got this way.
Hmm you make a compelling argument, I’m forced to reconsider my position.

Have there ever been any consequences for false takedown requests you could point me at?
