Pepe the Frog's creator sues alt-right sites for using meme

Creator of Pepe the Frog, Matt Furie, has sent takedown notices to alt-right-affiliated sites which have been using the symbol on their platforms in copyright infringement. Furie's legal representatives said the move is aimed at stopping the misuse of Pepe, which was created as a non-political character but was later used as a racist hate symbol in Internet memes.
