Itch.io Domain Taken Down

I kid you not, @itch.io has been taken down by Funko of "Funko Pop" because they use some trash "AI Powered" Brand Protection Software called Brand Shield that created some bogus Phishing report to our registrar, iwantmyname, who ignored our response and just disabled the domain

A social media post claims that itch.io was taken down after Funko’s “AI Powered” Brand Shield software allegedly generated a bogus phishing report, which the domain registrar supposedly ignored. The joke is the absurd frustration of a legitimate site being disabled because of an automated brand-protection system’s mistake, making it useful as a reaction to corporate overreach and broken AI moderation.
