An x.com post URL outlives the post: the item is removed, the index entry stays, and the result keeps returning for a stage name with the original text still attached. Delisting is a separate request from the platform report, and on this surface it is often the one that changes what people see.
Left up, 40 exposed copies work out to an estimated $234 a month in diverted subscriptions. Estimate, not a measurement: it assumes 0.45 diverted subscribers per exposed post at an average subscription price of $12.99. Your number depends on your pricing and audience.
Removal route for x.com
Resolved live · no account · nothing uploaded
A notice for x.com goes to a curated route openDMCA already holds.
2 · RDAP abuse contact— resolves.abuse@godaddy.com — the registrar's abuse desk, not x.com itself. Probed 2026-09-04.
3 · Fallback address— not needed.Not needed — an earlier rung resolved.
4 · Network and search— runs next.Cloudflare detection over DNS-over-HTTPS, then Google and Bing delisting of every indexed x.com URL.
What happens to what you type: nothing. The domain is matched against openDMCA's routing table in your browser. No request is made to x.com, no page is fetched, and the text is not stored or sent anywhere.
Search your name and collect what returns. Record the x.com URLs that actually appear in results. Some will point at posts already removed, and those are exactly the entries a delisting request exists for.
Include profile URLs, not only posts. An x.com profile page can rank for a creator name on its own. Filing on individual posts leaves the profile returning, and the profile is frequently the stronger match.
Pair each URL with your original. The copyright delisting request needs the location of your original for each infringing x.com URL. Where the material is intimate and non-consensual, the personal-imagery route applies and does not require ownership.
File both indexes. Submit the x.com list to Google and to Bing separately. Both index this platform heavily, and filing with one leaves the other returning the same results.
Verify by searching your name again. Re-run the name search days later. Whether the x.com results still appear is the real question, and a request receipt does not answer it.
Why a deleted x.com post keeps returning in search
An index entry persists until it is removed or the page is re-crawled and found empty. Deleted x.com posts keep their text in the index for a long time, and that text is usually what matched a stage name in the first place.
openDMCA files delisting per URL and verifies with an hourly re-check of whether the URL is genuinely absent, rather than waiting for a natural re-crawl that may take considerably longer than the harm does.
openDMCA gives the first two hops away: you can open the TCRP-format request builder and run it on a URL of your own, with no account and nothing uploaded.
One thing that catches people out on x.com
An x.com post URL that has been deleted can keep returning in search with its full original text, which means the description of the leak survives the leak. A creator who successfully removed every post can still find the words describing her material returning for her own name, and only a delisting request addresses that.
Frequently asked questions
The x.com post is deleted but still shows in search.
The index entry outlives the post. A delisting request removes it directly instead of waiting for the engine to re-crawl and discover the page is gone.
Should I include the profile URL?
Yes, where it returns for your name. A profile page aggregates and often outranks the individual posts, so filing on posts alone leaves the strongest result in place.
Does delisting notify the account?
No. The request goes to the search engine. The platform report is separate and does reach the platform.
