I can't tag @Shutterstock because they've blocked me, but if anyone they haven't blocked wants to retweet any of these public shaming messages, that can't hurt :)

I will.

Whether your tweet tagging them did the trick or they just got around to my email about this, I received a message that the portfolio had been terminated. It's now down to about 400 images (from 1400)

Excellent, either way!

Although

is still visible, Shutterstock compliance just emailed me that they have disabled the portolio

Success! Thanks Jo Ann. That's pretty fast action for them. If I click on the first image of the portfolio which is still visible I get the image but with name and profile photo blank....so that must be the first stage of disabling the port.
Edit: Now 100% gone. (9/7/20)

Or am I just imagining things?

If you look on the SS facebook groups its full of people from there asking "why is my account suspended" or "how do i edit this picture i found elsewhere and upload".
I think a lot of it is total unawareness of what copyright and the rules are. Some dont think theres anything wrong using someone elses image because its "on the internet".
Although i admit, some is malicious.
Recards:
I am shocked by tons of repetitive content, the author copies other people's designs and uploads thousands!
SS replies that it is not identical content :o
