Imibuzo
Imibuzo evame ukubuzwa
Someone says my story copied their photo. What do I do?
Open their request, check the claim, and hide the image or reject it with a reason. Keep the record.
Is a takedown the same as a grievance?
No. A grievance is a reader's complaint. See Grievances. A takedown asks you to remove something.
Can I delete a request?
No. Takedown records are never deleted, so you can show what you decided.
What if I am not sure the claim is valid?
Ask a lawyer. Keynate gives tools and drafts, not legal advice.
