Accessibility to Legal Takedown Requests

Shifty Lizard Times is a satirical publication. Many articles and images parody public figures, organizations, and current events. These depictions are entirely fictional, exaggerated for comedic effect, and fall squarely within the realm of protected free speech and parody under the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution and the fair use provisions of copyright law.

However, we take legal compliance seriously and are committed to addressing valid concerns regarding content posted on this site.

Takedown Requests

If you believe any content on this website:

• Infringes upon your copyright,

To file a takedown request, include:

• A detailed description of the concern and the material involved
• The exact URL(s) where the content appears
• Your full name and contact information

Please send all requests to: info@shiftylizardtimes.com

We will review all valid requests in a timely manner and, when appropriate, respond or remove the contested content in accordance with the DMCA, defamation law, and any applicable platform requirements.

Reminder: Satire is not defamation, and parody is not impersonation. Our readers know the difference—and we make that clear throughout our site.
