Users on the social media platform X are being hit with copyright strikes by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) for sharing videos of the controversial Olympics opening ceremony. The ceremony, which featured drag queens and blasphemous, anti-Christian elements, has sparked significant backlash. NBC and the IOC are reportedly using copyright claims to remove these videos, leading to accusations of suppressing criticism. Many argue that this misuse of copyright laws under the DMCA infringes on fair use, which permits commentary and critique.
