I was also going to share this. Google and other places like Twitter and Facebook seem to be willing to pull the trigger instantly on a DMCA and unwilling to put it back up with the C-DMCA even though the same law protects them if they do.

I'd like to think this is because Google, Twitter, etc. know these media companies have a lot of lobbying connections that could get the DMCA landscape changed to drastically hurt them.
I would rather argue that this is because the media companies are their partners.
I would lean this way as well. People who are filing counter notices are probably not big buyers of advertising on the platform.
