Content removal requests

Two routes, depending on what has happened. If intimate images of you were published here without your consent, use the first. If a work you own the copyright in has been uploaded without authorisation, use the second. You do not need a BentBox account for either.

Intimate content published without consent

For anyone depicted in intimate images or video published here without their agreement, including AI-generated and altered material. You do not need to own any copyright. Short form, no account needed.

Copyright infringement

For rights holders and authorised agents filing under 17 U.S.C. § 512 or Article 16 of the Digital Services Act. You will be asked to identify each work individually.

File a copyright notice

Are you a BentBox creator whose content has been leaked to another site? That is the opposite direction — see Content Leaks & DMCA Takedown Requests.

Intimate content published without your consent

This route is for the person depicted, or someone authorised to act for them. It does not matter who took the photograph, who owns the copyright, or whether you once agreed to the material existing somewhere else. What matters is that it is here and you did not consent to that.

We check every report against the identity verification and the model release we hold for the item. Where we cannot establish that consent covered publication here, the material comes down.

One per line. Copy the address from your browser bar on the page showing the content.
Enough for us to identify it — what it shows, roughly when it was taken, any name or handle it is posted under. Please do not attach or link the material anywhere else.
We send the outcome here.
Type your full name. This is your electronic signature.

If you are in immediate danger

Removal is not the only step available to you. If you are being threatened or extorted, contact your local police. StopNCII.org can create hashes that block matching images across participating platforms, and in the United States NCMEC handles reports where the person depicted is under 18. None of that delays what we do here.

Complete one block per work. The form asks for the title and details of each work because that is what the statute requires, and because it is the only part of a notice that lets us check the claim against the records we hold. We cannot process a notice that identifies a performer name, a stage name or a set of profile links instead of a work.

  • Every item here carries verified uploader identity, a digital model release naming each person depicted, records kept to the 18 U.S.C. § 2257 standard, and a timestamped upload log.
  • We check a notice against those records before removing anything. The most common false positive we see is a creator’s own authorised upload, reported by an agency that matched an image found elsewhere online.
  • Notices missing the identification of a work are logged and answered with a request for the missing element. They are not actioned.
  • Every notice is recorded with its sender and our decision. Under § 512(f), knowingly misrepresenting that material is infringing creates liability for the resulting damages and legal costs.

A notice containing all six elements of § 512(c)(3) is valid however it reaches us. The form above collects them in a structure we can verify immediately, which is faster for you. Notices sent to general support are routed here and lose time in transit.

What happens next

You receive a reference number by email immediately. Non-consensual content reports go to the front of the queue with a 48-hour deadline attached; copyright notices are handled in the order received. In both cases a person reviews the material, pulls the upload record, identity verification and model release for that item, and either removes it or comes back to you explaining what we found.

If we remove content, the uploader is told the reference and the grounds. For copyright removals they may file a counter-notification, which we forward to you; unless you bring a court action within the statutory window, the material is restored. Non-consensual content removals do not carry a counter-notification route.

Frequently asked questions

Use the non-consensual content form above. You do not need a BentBox account and you do not need to own any copyright in the material. Give us the direct URL and a description of the content, confirm that it depicts you and that it was published without your consent, and sign. We review these ahead of all other work and confirm the outcome within 48 hours.

Because § 512(c)(3)(A)(ii) requires identification of the copyrighted work said to be infringed, and a performer name or profile link does not identify a work. Without a title we have nothing to compare the accused file against and nothing to check against the model release and upload record we hold for that item. Notices that skip this are logged and answered with a request for the missing element rather than actioned.

No. Every item carries verified uploader identity, a digital model release naming each person depicted, records kept to the 18 U.S.C. § 2257 standard, and a timestamped upload log. We check a notice against those records before acting. The most common false positive we see is a creator’s own authorised upload being reported by an enforcement agency that matched an image found elsewhere online.

You can, and a notice containing all six statutory elements is valid however it arrives. The form exists because it collects those elements in a structure we can verify immediately, which is considerably faster for you. Notices sent to general support addresses are routed here and lose time in transit.

You are notified with the reference number and the grounds. You may submit a counter-notification, which we forward to the sender. Unless the sender brings a court action within the statutory window, the material is restored. Non-consensual content removals are not subject to the counter-notification route.

Every notice is logged with its sender, its contents and our decision. Under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f), knowingly and materially misrepresenting that material is infringing creates liability for the resulting damages and legal costs. Repeated unsubstantiated notices from one source affect how later notices from that source are queued.

Background on what makes a notice actionable, and why automated ones usually are not: DMCA notice requirements. Our full policy: copyright policy.

This page describes how BentBox processes content removal requests. It is general information, not legal advice, and it does not waive any position BentBox may take on a specific request. Statutory references are to 17 U.S.C. § 512, the TAKE IT DOWN Act (Pub. L. 119-12), Regulation (EU) 2022/2065 Article 16, and 18 U.S.C. § 2257.
