How Reddit removal works
For your copyrighted content, Reddit's DMCA process targets the infringing posts. For intimate content shared without consent, the involuntary-pornography report is often faster and doesn't require proving copyright. When a whole subreddit exists to leak you, the subreddit itself can be reported — not just individual posts.
- Copy the permalink to each infringing post or comment.
- File a DMCA report (copyright) or an involuntary-media report (intimate content).
- Report the subreddit itself if it's dedicated to leaking you.
- Reference prior report IDs to flag repeat infringement.
How openDMCA helps
openDMCA surfaces Reddit posts and subreddits tied to your name, prepares the reports, tracks outcomes and re-checks for reposts. Because removed posts can reappear under new accounts, ongoing monitoring is part of the process.
Realistic expectations
Reddit acts on valid copyright and non-consensual-media reports, but timing varies and content can be re-posted by new accounts. The durable result comes from monitoring and re-filing, plus flagging repeat infringement with prior report IDs — not from a single report.
