Get leaked content removed from Telegram

Telegram channels are a major leak vector. Copyright and NCII reports both work — here's how to reach them.

Gather the links

Copy the t.me link to each offending message or channel (Message → Copy Link).
Note the channel @username.

File the report

Email dmca@telegram.org for copyright removals, or use Telegram's abuse/ NCII reporting for non-consensual intimate imagery. Include the t.me links, a statement of ownership, and your signature. Telegram acts on public channels; private ones are harder and may need the NCII route.

Proactive blocking

For intimate imagery, a hash-matching service — the UK Revenge Porn Helpline operates one — fingerprints the image on your own device and sends only the fingerprint, so participating platforms can block re-uploads without you uploading anything. Prevention rather than chasing each new channel.

Work through it as a checklist

2 steps

Gather the links

Copy the t.me link to each offending message or channel (Message → Copy Link).
Note the channel @username.

Your ticks are saved in this browser, on this device, and openDMCA never sees them. Seeing the same checklist ticked on your phone and your laptop needs an account, because a browser cannot sync to a device it does not know about. What an account costs.

Automate all of this

Skip the manual work — openDMCA detects leaks, files the notices, requests search delisting, and keeps re-checking for reuploads.
