So ao3.life has scraped the entirety of ao3 and is offering shitty audiobook versions of every fic
I had everything archive locked on ao3 and it's still all here and I as the author have 0 control over any of my fics on there.
This is absolutely not ok and needs to be taken down immidiately.

Guys that Ao3life takedown form asks for your email registered with Ao3. Which is not public information. The only entity that would have that info besides Ao3 is someone who had breached Ao3. It is 100000% not a legit takedown form, do not engage with it. Report it to Ao3 and/or their domain host.
I know nothing for certain but I'm pretty clicking that ao3life takedown link is a very bad idea, guys, please be careful out there

PS: I understand the fake AO3 site is now down after being swamped with takedown notices, so that's nice

Ugh, found myself on here. Emailed a takedown request seeing as they now force you to make an account to ask for a takedown.
Hey streamers/influencers/artists/anyone with any social media presence:

There's a site that's currently using your publicly available data to build fake sponsorship listings to ruin your reputation and potentially keep sponsorship money that you'll never see!

Let's look at SocialDB ->

the ai slop clone/mass scraping of Ao3 came down in one day after more than 2,000 people individually threatened the creator with takedown notices: www.404media.co/vibe-coded-a...

Dr. El-Sayed is all over it lately. This is a brilliant, accurate takedown of Traitor Trump and MAGA. He gets it.

I just hit back on the make account page and it let me continue to the takedown request

burnout 3: takedown to the polls

I would strongly recommend not giving them any of your real data or email when doing a takedown.

Americans are catching on: Elon Musk is a loser. The world’s richest man spent nearly $1 billion over the past two cycles trying to buy our democracy, but tonight voters rejected his power grab.

Voters did our part. Now it's Congress's turn.

A Democratic majority in Congress could be bad news for Elon Musk. Tesla Takedown is encouraging DOGE investigations to happen next.

Adding updates here:

They now require making an account if you want to request a takedown through the site because they're scum.

They *did* honor takedowns submitted earlier today.

You can still submit takedowns via their email: hi@socialdb.xyz

Again.

House and Senate are BLUE.

The takedown of Dear Leader begins.
Anyway I am not so cold as to not celebrate a blow being struck to Trump. But this was a blow struck by voters & organizers.

Electeds’ job starts now. And they better fucking do it.

And they better govern like their spots depend on it because we are all looking at them like this

Hey #AO3 users

Please be aware that there is a website that has scraped AO3 for work and is not only reposting it without consent, but also attempting to monetise it via AI-generated audiobook versions of your work

They have a takedown request link, but it's dodgy as fuck

UPDATE ON THIS:

They have honored my takedown requests, none of my socials show up on the site anymore.

Good riddance.

I see there's someone suggesting people caught up in the AO3 takedown register the copyrights on their fanfic to protect it from scraping, etc, and, oh, boy, is this really not a great idea. I assure you that Disney, et al will not take kindly to that. "But they have to find out!" THEY WILL FIND OUT

This was a complete takedown of the GOP. Flipping whole Red ass states. Damn Iowa is blue as hell now and Texas. Mississippi and even Louisiana cracked

this would’ve never happened without the tesla takedown protesters, hands off/no kings, and all the other @indivisible.org coalitions doing the hard work on the ground. folks like @rheumcat.bsky.social deserve applause imo
