How to report non-consensual imagery for removal from bing.com
bing.com accepts removal requests for intimate imagery published without consent, and that route does not depend on owning the material. Filing it covers the engines drawing on the same index, which makes it worth doing even when a request elsewhere has already been granted.
Left up, 90 exposed copies work out to an estimated $526 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 bing.com
Resolved live · no account · nothing uploaded
bing.com is an index, not a host. Delisting is the whole route.
1 · Curated host route— silent.No host_handlers row for bing.com.
2 · RDAP abuse contact— resolves.abusecomplaints@markmonitor.com — the registrar's abuse desk, not bing.com itself. Probed 2026-09-04.
3 · Fallback address— not needed.Not needed — an earlier rung resolved.
4 · Network and search— resolves.Delisting is the route here — the index holds the result, not the file.
What happens to what you type: nothing. The domain is matched against openDMCA's routing table in your browser. No request is made to bing.com, no page is fetched, and the text is not stored or sent anywhere.
Use the personal-imagery route. Where intimate material was published without consent, the personal-imagery removal request on bing.com applies. It does not ask who owns the images, which is the point of it.
Record the URLs before filing. Save each bing.com result you want removed, with the date. Requests act on identified URLs, and a description without them cannot be processed.
Cover image results as well as web results. Image results are held separately on bing.com and matched by their own queue. A web-only request leaves thumbnails returning for a name search.
File with the other engine too. Each engine has its own version of this route. Filing with one leaves the material findable through the other, and both are free.
Use support services alongside the requests. Organisations exist specifically to help people whose intimate images were published without consent, at no cost. Using them is not a lesser route than paying a service.
Why ownership does not matter on this bing.com route
A copyright request asks who owns a work. The personal-imagery request asks whether the person depicted consented to publication. Someone whose photographs were taken by another person fails the first test and meets the second, which is why the routes are separate.
openDMCA files through whichever route applies and verifies the outcome afterwards. It does not submit to hash-matching networks, because that capability is gated on a credential that is not enabled, and claiming an unavailable route helps nobody.
openDMCA gives the first two hops away: you can open the copyright-or-NCII decision tree and run it on a URL of your own, with no account and nothing uploaded.
One thing that catches people out on bing.com
Because the bing.com index feeds other search products, a personal-imagery removal granted there reduces results in more than one place from a single free request. For someone in the first hours of a non-consensual leak, that is the highest ratio of relief to effort available anywhere in this process, and it requires no service and no payment.
Frequently asked questions
I do not own the images. Can I still file?
Yes. The personal-imagery route on bing.com depends on consent rather than ownership, which is the case where a copyright request fails.
Does it cost anything?
No. Search-engine removal requests are free to file, and openDMCA says so rather than routing an urgent case through a payment first.
Does this remove the page itself?
No. It removes results. The host route is what addresses the page, and it runs separately and in parallel.
Is this legal advice?
No. This describes the routes that exist and how they differ. For advice about your own situation, speak to a lawyer or a support organisation.
