With my specific show, the first amendment would render those takedown notices illegal.
Regarding spectatefaker specifically, its true that that is not a first amendment fair use, so riot can take it down.
The rest of the relevant discussion is about how Tryndamere is dishonest about his true motives and has toed the line of libel. And how Riot hasn't established any legal or interpretive rules that would reasonably inform people of what to do in the future.

This isn't a first amendment issue at all what in the world lol
The first amendment deals with the government's ability to make laws that curtail free speech/religion/press. It has absolutely nothing to do with a private company's ability to control content that they own.
Riot has the ability to pursue takedowns of their content whenever they want. They typically choose not to do that because that content typically helps the League ecosystem grow. In this case they've decided they have a problem with SpectateFaker so they are pursuing a takedown.
Seriously bringing the first amendment in here is like when people claim that the first amendment means that Naz can't ban people on TL for their views rofl
