Taking copies down
A copy disappears when it loses its server, its domain and its money
A copy rarely disappears because of a single email to the hosting provider. It disappears when the hosting provider shuts it down, the registrar suspends the domain, the payment provider drops out and browsers warn about it. AntiClone prepares each of these reports. You confirm the copy with one click, AntiClone checks the case and then sends the reports by email in your name.
The four steps of a report
Confirm
You see the copy with all the evidence and confirm it with one click. Before that, you grant the authorization once, and you can revoke it at any time.
Report
AntiClone checks the case and then sends the reports in your name to the hosting provider and registrar, with the check report and a deadline. If the site is still online after the deadline, the payment providers follow.
Monitor
AntiClone checks every 30 minutes whether the site can still be reached, for 90 days. Replies from the recipients go directly to you, and you get a copy of every report.
Offline
The site only counts as offline when two checks at least one hour apart confirm it. Then you are told. If it comes back, you are told as well.
Six places a case is reported to
AntiClone writes to the hosting provider, registrar and payment providers in your name. Where a recipient only accepts a form with a captcha or a login, the text is ready and waiting for you, and one click opens the form.
Hosting provider
A notice under Art. 16 of the Digital Services Act to the operator of the server, with all the evidence. If the site hides behind Cloudflare, Cloudflare accepts the report through its abuse form and forwards it to the hosting provider.

Form at Cloudflare: you
Registrar
The registrar is the company the domain was registered with. For endings such as .com it has to review abuse reports, and a registrar that does not respond can be reported to the domain oversight body ICANN.

Abuse report with a deadline
Payment providers
AntiClone detects payment services that are built into the site. If the site is still online after your deadline, AntiClone writes to them. If the provider stops its services, the copy can no longer take money through it, no matter where the server is located.

after your deadline, works worldwide
Google Search
If a site shows search engines something different from what it shows visitors, it violates Google's spam policies. The cloaking report is prepared, and the form requires a Google login.
Form: you
works worldwide
Browser warning
If Google adds the site to Safe Browsing, Chrome, Firefox and Safari warn about it. The report form opens with the address already filled in.
Form: you
works worldwide
Platform
If the copy itself runs on Shopify, Shopify can suspend the shop, regardless of where the operator is based. The report is ready and waiting.
Form: you

What if the server is in China?
Even then three routes remain that do not require the server itself to be shut down: payment providers can stop their services, Google can downgrade the site in search, and browsers can warn about it.
In the app
AntiClone checks every case you confirm and then reports it in your name
So that emails can be sent in your name, you grant AntiClone an authorization once, and you can revoke it at any time. When you confirm a site as a copy, AntiClone checks the case and then sends the reports to the responsible recipients, with the evidence report attached. You get a copy of every report, replies go directly to you, and you are told as soon as the site is offline.
