Reddit Leak Removal

You report it to Reddit itself, not to the subreddit. Reddit has two separate routes: a copyright removal request for content you own, and a non-consensual intimate media report under its content policy for intimate images shared without your consent. Then you report the file host the post links to, because that is where your photos and videos actually sit. LeakRemover picks the right route for each post and files both halves, so the thread and the file come down together.

On a leak subreddit, no. The moderators are the people running it, so a report goes to the same person who approved the post. Reporting to the moderators of a normal community works, but the leak communities have to be escalated to Reddit itself. That is the route we use, and it is also the only one that reaches crossposts sitting in other subreddits.

You still have a route. A DMCA notice depends on owning the work, which does not cover a video someone else filmed, a private photo you sent to one person, or a deepfake built from your face. Reddit's policy on non-consensual intimate media covers those cases, applies to faked and lookalike content, and can be reported by the person shown or by a representative acting for them. We file as your representative, so your name stays out of it either way.

It helps, but on its own it leaves the copy alive. Most adult posts on Reddit are a link to RedGifs or to a file host like Mega, GoFile or Bunkr, so the thread is the door and the file is somewhere else. Delete the door and the link still works everywhere else it was pasted. We notify Reddit and the host that holds the file at the same time, so the copy itself disappears.

Yes, and it is usually the fastest visible win. Reddit threads get indexed quickly and can define your search results within days. Alongside the takedown we file deindexing requests with Google and Bing for those URLs. Google deindexing typically lands within 24 hours, which often happens before Reddit has finished processing the removal itself.

Reddit is mirrored. Front-ends and archive sites re-serve threads that no longer exist on reddit.com, and aggregators copy the same links into their own pages. A removal on Reddit does not reach any of them, because they are separate operators. Our scan follows your name onto those copies too and each one gets its own notice, which is the difference between a thread being gone and the leak being gone.

No. Every notice goes out under our company identity. This matters more on Reddit than almost anywhere else: a copyright notice normally carries the rights holder name and contact details, it is passed on to the person who posted the content, and platforms including Reddit send copyright removal requests to Lumen, a public archive of takedown notices. Filing under your own name can put your legal name into a searchable record. Filing through us does not.

Usually not with a copyright notice, and we will tell you so instead of sending one anyway. A post that discusses you, or uses a screenshot of something you published publicly, is often not a copyright case, and a notice sent in bad faith carries real legal risk for the person sending it. If there is intimate imagery of you in the thread, the non-consensual intimate media route applies. If it is harassment or your private details, Reddit has policies for both. We aim you at the report that can actually work.

That is the normal pattern on Reddit, where the same link gets reposted or crossposted under a new title. Monitoring keeps running after the first removal, and every reappearance gets a fresh notice automatically instead of waiting for you to find it. Reddit also acts faster on accounts and communities that keep coming back, so a consistent record of notices does more than a single report ever will.
