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 does not scan Reddit or file Reddit reports today. It scans the leak forums, file hosts and search results that Reddit posts often link to, so the copies behind a post can be removed through the host and search routes. Keep your own Reddit report IDs, because removed posts can reappear under new accounts.
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.
Frequently asked questions
Will Reddit remove leaked content?
Reddit acts on valid DMCA and non-consensual media reports, and on subreddits dedicated to leaks. This page covers which report to file; openDMCA does not file Reddit reports for you.
Can a whole leak subreddit be taken down?
Yes — when a subreddit exists primarily to share leaked content, you can report the subreddit itself in addition to individual posts.
Posts keep coming back — what then?
Reposts under new accounts are common. Re-report them and reference your prior report IDs, which helps flag repeat infringement.
