Hi, @nelioyann . Unless you have written legal permission from LinkedIn to use “linkedin” in a domain name, they will report your site and we will be forced to suspend it.
You cannot use strings like “linkedin”, “netflix”, etc. for your site names at Netlify unless you have the permission of the company in question do so.
If you do have LinkedIn’s permission, let us know and we’ll open a support ticket so you can share the proof privately.
It looks like one of your sites was a Netflix clone site. Netflix will report these sites as phishing or copyright infringement (sometimes both).
Unless you have a contract with Netflix that allows you to made public websites that use their trademarks (and let us know if that is the case), then Netlify is forced to suspend your account when it is reported.
We really wish that code schools would explain to their students that hosting a Netflix clone site on your account is copyright infringemen…
People deploy them all the time , and they get taken down all the time :
My site is https://netflix-gpt-keerthikareddy.netlify.app/
I got a mail saying that my site has been taken down as it appears to have violated our terms of service or was reported due to a DMCA request.
I read these support forms and get to know that site names shouldn’t contain terms like “netflix”, “linkedin” without permissions.
I want to change my site name but couldn’t do it as it is suspended.
Please let me change my site name.
Just the title, my site was suspended because it’s a netflix clone and I foolishly named it something to do with netflix. My utmost apologies and it will never happen again. I never received permission to do so, sorry for the joke and hope you all have a great one.
