Way to wish away the reality of the situation. Yes, extremists - like crazy lefties who want to silence speech

You appear to have an extreme case of irony deficiency. You should get that looked at.

"Crazy censoring lefties" is a talking point of your particular tribe of extremists who are desperate to accuse everybody else of your own crimes.

You forgot about the deconstructing masculinity classes.

So you're not complaining that the legal definition of rape is twisted so men can't be raped, 'cause it sure sounded like you were in the GGP. Now it seems like you're saying that the law should be asymmetrical since one part of the population is more likely to be the offender than the victim. Pick a side will you?

Unless you can provide facts I call bullshit.

I guess I'm the one who's going to have to provide the LMGTFY link. I'll even QTFY:

the U.S. Department of Education is investigating complaints against 161 institutions for their handling of sexual violence investigations.

Also, you're going to have to be more specific about "Duke and UNLV", and how they "both show the assertion to be incorrect". By the way, Duke is back on the DoE's aforementioned list as of January. Since Title IX investigations take 1-2 years, I doubt this is the specific case you're talking about.

Could this also be a case of anti-DMCA activism, where someone is fabricating this scenario just to demonstrate how abusable the system is?

No, it's an Indian medical researcher who hired a reputation management company to downplay the fact that he was thrown out of Duke for lying on his resume and falsifying cancer research results.

Of course if it's not, I'm sure this will give some people that kind of idea.

There is no need for activism in that area. Using a DMCA request for trying to take down content that affects your reputation is a very common tactic. Most of the time, it doesn't do anything because the content is posted by back up after a little while.

In this case however, the reputation management company was smart enough to post duplicated content first. This means that the primary content may be dinged automatically by the google bot as a plagiarizer if it thinks the content was posted in India first, and so the google ranking of that content may be permanently affected as a result. Hopefully, the google bot is smart enough to figure out what truly happened.

Either way, because of the Streisand effect, I wouldn't want to be that Anil Potti right now.
