DMCA takedown notices are there to remove responsibility from server hosts. When a notice is sent, adhering to it protects the host from legal liability. If the individual who posted the content believes it was in error, they can typically contest it by sending information to the person abusing takedown (through the host) and essentially saying sue me or leave me alone. The host is of course under no obligation to go further than the takedown.
The takedown itself is by no means ‘punishment’, but is a warning for the host to protect themselves.
You don’t actually have any right to force a third party company to put itself at risk for you or host your content.
Huh? No.
