    That’s why shutting down the platform does no good. Those who officially upload stuff there should raise hell on anyone who tries to shut MangaDex down. There’s already the DMCA as someone mentioned if they want to remove pirated manga.

    The true motive, I perceive, is certain companies don’t like non-walled garden platforms. Therefore, it’s not anti-piracy enforcement, but anti-competitive behavior.

      Absolutely. They’re unable (probably unwilling too) to provide a better experience than MangaDex, so instead of spending funds for providing a better experience, they have to resort to this.
