This is definitely a warning on AI use for decision-making.. BrandShield's AI identified and reported the issue using AI. Apparently IWantMyName also used an automated process to disable the site. Linode had a human in the mix and did the right thing.

Ultimately, this did more damage to the Funko brand, which is the opposite of what you want from a brand protection platform. I'd expect this to ripple through both BrandShield and Funko as to how they handle these cases and which platform they utilize.
