Ouch. Defamation lawsuits coming?

The unilateral seizure is a tricky thing. If we spin this into a physical world example, are drug dealers allow to contest a seizure before it occurs? Of course not – it would allow them ample time to shift the contraband assets.

Should a different standard be used in the digital world?

One difference is that if you bust a place to seize drugs and no drugs are present, it’s obvious. With digital assets, it’s not always immediately apparent.

In any case, it might be prudent to tone down the takedown message in case the seizure was done in error.
