How to report a leaked Reddit post

Reddit has two routes. A copyright (DMCA) notice is for content you made and own. A report for intimate media posted without consent goes under Reddit's own rules. Pick the one that fits, or use both, and report the leak site a post links to as well, since removing the post leaves those files up.

1. Save the Evidence

Copy the link to each post and any i.redd.it or v.redd.it media links, and take dated screenshots that show the subreddit and the username.

2. Choose the Route

Use Reddit's copyright (DMCA) form for content you own. Use the post's Report option, or reddit.com/report, for intimate media posted without your consent.

3. File the Report

For a DMCA notice, name your original work, list every Reddit link, and add your contact details, signature and the good-faith and accuracy statements.

4. Check and Follow Up

Check each link again after a few days. If a post points to a leak site, report that site too, and ask Google to drop pages that still show in search.

Frequently Asked Questions

Reddit has its own copyright (DMCA) form, which you can reach from reddit.com/report, and its rules ban posting content that infringes someone's copyright. Reddit decides each notice. We can't tell you how fast it acts, because we have not filed with Reddit ourselves.

A DMCA notice is for content you created and own, which usually includes your own paid content. Reddit's rules also ban posting intimate or sexually explicit media of someone without their consent, and you can report a post for that from its Report option or from reddit.com/report. Reddit decides which policy applies, and you can use both.

Six things: your physical or electronic signature (a typed full name is common); the work that was copied, such as a link to your original post; the link to every Reddit post or media file that carries it; your contact details; a statement that you believe in good faith the use is not authorized; and a statement that the notice is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that you own the content or are authorized to act for the owner. Platforms can pass a notice on to the person who posted the content, so use contact details you are comfortable sharing.

Search Reddit and Google for your handles and the names leakers post you under. Google image search can also bring up Reddit posts. Our scans search Google (web and images) and Brave for your names, aliases and handles on a schedule, and Reddit posts that come up are flagged for our team to review.

Leak subreddits come and go, so we don't keep a list of them. Searching by your names and handles finds a post in whichever subreddit it sits, once search engines pick it up.

Report the Reddit post, and send a notice to the site that holds the files too, because removing the post leaves the files up. Our scans look for leak sites directly by your names and handles; we don't follow links out of Reddit posts. When a site we find publishes a DMCA contact or form, we send it a takedown notice once a person confirms the match, and recheck the page a day, a week and a month later, until it is gone, while your plan is active.

Reddit posts that come up when your names are searched are flagged for our team to review. We don't file DMCA notices or intimate media reports with Reddit for you, so use Reddit's own forms for the posts themselves. When the same content is on leak sites that come up when your names are searched, we send those sites takedown notices where they publish a contact. Our team can also ask Google, Bing and Brave to remove a page from search results; we don't promise when it drops.
