False DMCA claims leave Helsinki Times and affiliated sites invisible in Google Search for months
By Editorial Staff Helsinki Times Try searching Google for some of Helsinki Times’ in-depth consumer guides and specialized reporting today, and you might come up empty-handed. Where original articles once stood, readers are instead met with a quiet, sterile disclaimer tucked away at the bottom of the search page: “In response to a complaint that we received under the US Digital Millennium Copyright Act, we have removed results from this page.”
