Twitter Takedown Probe In Progress

Shueisha Blames Third Party

By Epic Dope Staff | January 16, 2021

Numerous Twitter accounts got locked in response to copyright claims allegedly under the name of the Japanese manga publisher, Shueisha.

Shueisha denied any involvement in the Twitter takedowns and claimed that a third party was misusing their name without permission.

The company is now sending in copyright claims and investigating with social media to decide on a course of action.

Twitter user revealed that Shueisha did not make the copyright claims, but a third party used Shueisha’s name to cause harassment.

The truth is still very murky, and now all we want is to punish the one who caused this chaos since the copyright strikes involved fan-arts and cosplay.

There is another controversy involving a One Piece editor’s internet viewing history, which had one of the links to an adult manga pirate site.
