How to remove leaked content from Google - the copyright removal form, when Google's intimate-imagery path applies, Bing, and what to do at the source.
Published · Updated
Most people find leaked content through search, not by browsing leak sites directly. Removing a page from Google doesn't delete the file at the source, but it cuts off the main way people find it. That's why it's worth filing a search removal as well as a notice to the site that hosts the page.
Google takes copyright removal requests through its legal removals form at reportcontent.google.com. You submit the infringing URLs, identify the copyrighted work, and state under penalty of perjury that you own it or are authorized to act for the owner - the same Section 512 elements as any DMCA notice. Processing time varies, and approved URLs drop out of Google's results. For leaked paid content, this is usually the right form.
Google also has a removal path for intimate images published without consent, including fake explicit images, that doesn't require proving copyright ownership. You, or someone acting for you, can file it. There is a catch for paid content: if the content was made with your consent, Google's policy covers it only when it isn't commercialized online or anywhere else. Content you sell on OnlyFans or another paid platform usually doesn't qualify, so leaked paid content usually goes through the copyright form instead. Use the intimate-imagery path for content you never published commercially, and for fake explicit images of you.
The Trusted Copyright Removal Program lets senders with a long record of accurate notices submit copyright removal requests in bulk. It is meant for senders who need to submit very large numbers of pages. Individual creators can't join, and DeleteMyLeaks is not a member: we file Google requests through the standard copyright removal form, the same one you can use yourself.
Bing has its own copyright removal form, and Bing's results also feed Yahoo and DuckDuckGo. Brave Search takes copyright requests by email. Google has the most traffic, but a page left up on another engine keeps a way to find it open, so file with each engine where the page shows up.
A de-indexed page is hidden from search but still online - direct links, forum posts, and Telegram channels still work. Pair a search removal with a DMCA notice to the hosting site, and take it to the site's hosting provider when the site ignores you. Search removal cuts off discovery; removal at the source takes the content down. Our team can ask Google, Bing and Brave to remove a page from search results. We don't promise when a page drops.
