You should read https://www.justia.com/intellectual-property/copyright/enforcement/ to understand the law behind enforcing copyrights.
Then you should comprehend how completely illegal and reprehensible private justice is as applied on the Internet. Copyright ‘strikes’ assume the person claiming copyright actually owns that copyright and that it has been registered with the Copyright Office. But they don’t know and what is even more important is this entire process of copyright strikes and copyright banned pages (see Lumen Database below) is https://history.house.gov/HistoricalHighlight/Detail/15032451486 nothing more than the continuation of the Ku Klux Klan.
On “April 20, 1871 the House approved “An Act to enforce the Provisions of the Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States, and for other Purposes,” also known as the “Ku Klux Klan Act.” Introduced as H.R. 320 on March 28, 1871.”
Blacks have been used in this Klan resurrection as pawns to do the bidding of their real white masters: the Klan. The Klan is not alone in this coup but it is forefront and spear point.
“The Ku Klux Klan Act, the third of a series of increasingly stringent Enforcement Acts, was designed to eliminate extralegal violence and protect the civil and political rights of four million freed slaves. The 14th Amendment, ratified in 1868, defined citizenship and guaranteed due process and equal protection of the law to all. Vigilante groups like the Ku Klux Klan, however, freely threatened African Americans and their white allies in the South and undermined the Republican Party’s plan for Reconstruction.” https://history.house.gov/HistoricalHighlight/Detail/15032451486
That is being applied to copyright enforcement on line.
“If somebody infringes your copyright, you are entitled to file a lawsuit in federal court to enforce your rights. Remedies include obtaining an injunction or restraining order to prevent additional violations, an award of money damages, and possibly attorneys’ fees. The court can also order while an action is pending that any copies that are alleged to be in violation of the copyright owner’s exclusive rights, as well as templates for reproduction and records, be impounded. When making its final orders, the court can order the destruction or disposition of all the infringing copies that violated the copyright owner’s exclusive rights, as well as the templates for reproduction.
Generally, if a person has a good reason to believe that he or she is not infringing, the damages that the person will have to pay as an innocent infringer may be nominal. The court will also order the innocent infringer to stop infringing. Defenses that may be raised in response to a lawsuit to enforce a copyright include that too much time has passed between the infringement and the lawsuit, that the infringement was innocent, that the infringing work was created independently, that the infringer had a license from the original owner, and the fair use defense.
In order to bring a civil lawsuit to enforce your copyright, you have to register your work with the Copyright Office. The Copyright Office is an office of record, not an enforcement agency, and cannot offer legal advice.” https://www.justia.com/intellectual-property/copyright/enforcement/
“A Law Library online encyclopedia defines Vigilantism as, ‘The act of taking the law into one’s own hands and attempting to enact justice according to one’s own understanding of right and wrong; action taken by a voluntary association of persons who organize themselves for the purpose of protecting a common interest, such as liberty, property, or personal security; action taken by an individual or group to protest existing law; action taken by an individual or group to enforce a higher law than that enacted by society’s designated lawmaking institutions; private enforcement of legal norms in the absence of an established, reliable, and effective law enforcement body.'” https://www.crimemuseum.org/crime-library/other-crime-topics/vigilante/
Imagine the temptation one would be placed within when one realized that the copyright enforcement vigilante system known as Lumen Database, in its hiding and banning of whole web pages and whole web sites just on the claim of a pretending legal copyright holder: temptation to use that system to block and ban things people don’t want other people to know about. Call it a reputation protection service. I mean racket.
“Vigilante groups like the Ku Klux Klan, however, freely threatened African Americans and their white allies in the South and undermined the Republican Party’s plan for Reconstruction.” And they are still doing it. They are making the country the plantation and all people their slaves and they are thinning the heard so what remains won’t cost so much to maintain. They don’t use the name of the Democrat Party enforcement bureau anymore. They have found Progressive to be so much better sounding than Ku Klux, let alone Klan. Biden’s friendship with Robert Byrd was deep and deeply rooted. They are all bigots and do the bidding of the most evil tyrants man can muster in this age of feminine males and masculine females.
And isn’t it funny that copyright enforcement online being all about the money fits this so well: “In some cases, a copyright infringement is not only a matter of civil litigation, but also a criminal misdemeanor or felony. The U.S. Department of Justice enforces this aspect of copyright law through criminal prosecution. Under Section 506 of the Copyright Law, anybody who willfully infringes a copyright can be criminally prosecuted if the infringement was committed for commercial advantage of financial gain, by reproducing or distributing a copyright work during a 180-day period of one or more copies or phonorecords that retail for over $1,000, or by distributing work that was being prepared for commercial distribution by making it available on a computer network that the public can access when the person knew it was intended for commercial distribution. Among other penalties, forfeiture, destruction, and restitution may be ordered. ” https://www.justia.com/intellectual-property/copyright/enforcement/

Google is the vigilante, Lumen Database is the weapon so many others refer to which makes the censorship happen. Who needs laws when big tech, the home of today’s Klan, just takes it for their own?
