Meta removed one of my comics from Instagram due to ‘copyright infringement’. It doesn’t tell me what copyright, only some weird hotmail email address I can email of the person who struck me. Tell me what copyright this comic infringes?
Review requested. Anyone have any experience with something similar?
@bougiewonderland there’s a few forg like characters that are out there but never has been a problem, we can all exist in our own space 🐸
Been drawing the little green blob for years!
@heyheymomo I know! Which is why I’m thinking someone’s trying something iffy…
@heyheymomo that looks like Greb comics, Soup Frog
@heyheymomo It infringes on happiness. We can’t have that.
@heyheymomo
Both Instagram and TikTok banned me cause I posted MY music and they told me there were were a copyright infringement. It was MY music, an original composition, not a cover.
So ti resume simple, It's as absurd as I would manage to r*pe myself.
@heyheymomo BBC article from this morning. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cjw54ww73qjo
@heyheymomo not really helping you in your case but shows where art on Meta platforms is heading:
@jo don’t love that
@heyheymomo I do love your work though! How are the shipping fees for Germany? I’d love a T-shirt (particularly of the bus trip comic of your original post) 😊
@jo best to check on checkout because shipping rates are calculated dynamically. Thank you!
@heyheymomo
I'm here because tumblr pulled something similar to me. I've read many folk who suffered the same treatment from the abusive media companies, but I guess it pales to what they allow and encourage.
BLAMMO has a copyright on logs 
@Metaph I should have known!
@heyheymomo under the DMCA or equivalent laws in other countries, anyone can submit a copyright claim on anything, and as long as they do so in the right format, the platform is legally obliged to take it down until you submit a counterclaim. It's stupid and wrong, and easy to abuse, but we fought that battle 20 years ago and lost. If anything, it's amazing this sort of thing doesn't happen more often.
@heyheymomo Oh no, I tried to think up something funny and now I can't unsee all the McDonalds logos!
So anyone can just claim anything and gets stuff taken down for no reason? Cool
@heyheymomo Exactly. I one wrote an article about breast cancer. Puzzled as to what to use as an illustration I had my partner take a picture of me, back to the camera, with my arms wrapped around my front, opposite hands gripping either side of my back. (No clothes but no offensive nudity). That photo was taken down for copyright infringement. Apparently someone else holds a copyright to my back. I later found the photo, altered by computer generated art, on a popular blog.
@heyheymomo That's the DMCA...
@heyheymomo Yes. Welcome to Big Tech 🌈
@heyheymomo dunno but i claim the bus
@rina it was you!! What if I make the bud red
@heyheymomo i take a red bus too tho. cute bus is cute. travelling the world
@heyheymomo @rina It's clearly a London bus so I say it's TfL who took it down. *joke* Seriously though I love your comics because wholesomeness.
@heyheymomo@socel.net my best guess, someone made an AI version of it, then put it in the copyright system from Instagram and bam, thats it

@heyheymomo I know lately I saw some cartoon frog that obviously seemed inspired by Forg, so I’m wondering if that creator isn’t sort of trying to reverse-copyright you
