We read all 46.9 million copyright takedown requests Google has published since 2011 and kept the ones filed for OnlyFans and Fansly creators.
97.0% of the 59,178 creators in that record have content on at least one of 4,061 confirmed leak sites.
Where it all ends up:
@Kelly_Nixe@TGodiy54081 Google's own copyright takedown data shows the same pattern: creators copied without consent are typically re-posted to 63 different sites, not just one. That's why taking down a single link rarely stops it.
@Nandini0819 Reddit leaks are a hard one to chase through Google. Of 219,632 Reddit URLs that creator-protection agencies reported to Google for copyright, Google removed 2.2%. For Reddit, the report has to go to Reddit itself.
What this means for a creator. A low removal rate on a site does not mean your content is not there.
It means Google had not indexed those pages when the notice went in. The pages can still be live on the site.
Google publishes what it does with every copyright takedown request.
One site holding content from 20,090 creators shows a 16.3% removal rate. That does not make it clean. 83.2% of the URLs filed against it were not in Google's index, so there was nothing to delist.
The whole record says the same thing in one year. Of everything filed with Google in 2025, 84.6% was removed. Of the URLs Google actually decided on, 98.8% was removed.
The difference is the pages Google did not have in its index.
@jordanreviewsit@allegrajacchia Stolen posts on X are a real drain. In Google's copyright takedown data, Google removed 0.6% of the X URLs creator agencies reported, fewer than 1 in 100. Google mostly takes no action there, so the report has to go to X itself.
@LoveBeyondCo1or@BeckInvestLLC That is frustrating, and the data shows why it feels endless. In Google's copyright takedown data, the typical creator with leaked content appears on 63 leak sites, so one takedown rarely feels like progress.
@sc3n3zzz Frustrating to see it again. In Google's copyright takedown data, creators' agencies reported 42,236 URLs on X and Google removed 0.6%, about 1 in 170. For a post on X, the report has to go to X itself, not Google.
The ten biggest sites hosting stolen creator content are aggregators, not forums. Each holds content from 24,000 to 29,000 of the 59,178 creators in Google's takedown record.
That is at least two creators in five on every one of them.
That is the trap for any tool that hunts leaks by statistics: score sites by removal rate and the first domain it flags is the one creators are paid on. The list of safe platforms has to be written by a person.
The three ways this data lies: https://t.co/dTPJThzoBM
OnlyFans itself appears in Google's copyright takedown data. Creators report re-uploads hosted on the platform, and Google delists 54.1% of the URLs they file.
Judged by that number alone, the platform looks like a leak site.
@galclairee@sophieraiin That grind is real. Google's copyright takedown data shows a leaked creator typically turns up on 63 different sites, not just one. Knowing that can help decide where reporting effort actually pays off.
@ali__fnm@rayderfv Rough one. Google's copyright takedown data shows creators who get hit like this typically show up on 63 different sites, not just one report to chase.
@RealRiderQueen Good approach. One data point: how well a Google delisting request works depends heavily on where the content sits, so reporting directly to whichever platform is hosting it, not just filing with Google, is usually the faster route.
@rezero779010@Savitar708@NguyenAnhQuoc41 That's a rough find. Only 1.1% of the 19,041 Instagram URLs agencies reported to Google last year got removed. Instagram's own reporting tool is usually the one that works for something like this.
