Do you know how Hetzner is when something happens?

Say you receive a fraudulent DMCA takedown request. Or someone doesn't like what you're hosting there (like the recent core-js situation where they receive a lot of hate) and somehow sends a complain/report to Hetzner.

Would Hetzner shutdown the VPS first and ask questions later? Or would they approach me first?

I'm taking this chance to move from Linde to a different provider, so I'm interested in how they handle situations like this.

By law Linode is supposed to turn off and wait for a counter claim. Most companies forward and wait forward. Hetzner is not fast to react on abuse and are quite large.
