In a gross abuse of copyright law, @DoaneUniversity
forced offline a faculty-built website created to protest deep academic program cuts by claiming photos on the site belonged to the university and violated its copyrights: http://doaneline.com/news/article_737ea94e-1be0-11eb-ac9d-43e98755e69d.html
Faculty-made website taken down

The faculty-made website, keepdoaneeducated.net, has been taken down due to a false copyright complaint.

Actually, the photos were taken by an opponent of the cuts specifically for use on the website. But @Wix disabled the site after receiving a takedown request, a scare tactic we see again and again when rightsholders want to silence critics.
Wix agreed to put the site back up in ten days - but by then, the critical vote already will have taken place. EFF stands with Doane's faculty and calls on the school to retract its false claim immediately.
You can follow @EFF.
