You’ve built your Fansly following, put real work into your content, and then one day you Google yourself and… there it is. Your leaked Fansly content on some random site. Removing leaked Fansly content is possible - and here’s exactly how to fight back.

Do I Own My Fansly Content?

Here’s the good news: you already have legal protection. Copyright applies automatically the moment you create content - no registration required.

Fansly’s Terms of Service explicitly state: “We do not own the media uploaded by Users… You retain all ownership rights in your User Content.” The ToS also prohibits anyone from copying, reproducing, or distributing your content without consent.

As a Fansly creator, you hold exclusive rights to:

• Reproduction - only you decide who can copy your content
• Distribution - you control how it’s shared or sold
• Public display - you choose where it appears publicly

When someone uploads your Fansly content without permission, they’re infringing on these rights. This gives you legal grounds to demand removal through DMCA takedown notices.

Does Fansly Protect My Content?

Fansly takes a different approach to content protection than OnlyFans. Some features are automatic (DRM, behavioral detection), while others you configure yourself (geo-blocking, timeline permissions).

How Fansly Protects Your Content

Unlike OnlyFans where you toggle DRM settings yourself, Fansly’s content protection is automatic and invisible. According to a Fansly developer on Reddit:

“We believe that the creator should not be involved in protecting their content, as a creator there is no need to tick any checkboxes or buttons. We are using technologies on demand where we think they are the best tool for the job.”

According to the same developer, Fansly’s protection includes:

• Behavioral analysis - Claimed to detect and ban leakers before they can mass-download
• Traffic pattern monitoring - Claimed to identify organized scraping groups
• On-demand DRM - Applied automatically to media that benefits from it
• Screenshot protection - Enabled where effective (though easily circumvented)

Fansly Watermarking Options

Watermarks do two things: scare off casual leakers and help you track who leaked. Fansly adds watermarks automatically, but you can layer on your own too.

Fansly’s built-in watermarks:

• Automatic username overlay on content
• Can be positioned in corners or across content
• Visible but not intrusive

Custom watermarking tips:

• Add your username in multiple positions
• Use semi-transparent overlays that are hard to crop
• For videos, use moving watermarks that are harder to remove
• Use different watermarks for promotional vs. paid content

Geo-Blocking on Fansly

Fansly lets you block specific countries, states, or even cities from accessing your profile. This is useful if you:

• Want to hide from people in your hometown
• Have concerns about specific regions
• Want to comply with local laws

To enable geo-blocking:

1. Go to Privacy & Safety settings
2. Scroll to Add Blocked Locations
3. Type and select locations from the dropdown
4. Be specific - blocking a city (Austin, TX) is better than an entire state

Users in blocked locations won’t see your profile in search or the FYP. If they access your profile directly, they’ll see an error message.

Blocking Users

If you identify a user who’s leaked your content, you can block them from your profile. Fansly’s block feature prevents blocked users from viewing your content or interacting with you.

Combined with Fansly’s behavioral detection systems, repeat offenders may also have their accounts flagged or banned platform-wide.

Timeline Permissions

Beyond geo-blocking, Fansly lets you control exactly who can view your timeline content. You can require users to follow, subscribe, or meet other conditions before seeing your posts.

To set up: Go to Privacy & Safety settings, scroll to Timeline Permissions, and click New Permission. Learn more about permissions on Fansly.

How to Use DMCA to Remove Leaked Fansly Content

The DMCA (Digital Millennium Copyright Act) is what makes takedowns work. When you send a proper notice, websites are legally required to remove your content or risk liability.

Fansly itself complies with DMCA: “We will respond to proper notifications of claimed copyright infringement and will take appropriate action including removing or disabling access to the allegedly infringing User Content.” This same law applies to any site hosting your leaked content.

Here’s how the process works:

1. Find the leaked content - Search your username + “leaked” on Google
2. Document everything - Screenshot the URLs and content
3. Send DMCA notice - Use the site’s form or email their abuse contact
4. Follow up - Some sites need multiple notices

Where Fansly Content Gets Leaked

Unlike OnlyFans leaks that spread everywhere, Fansly content tends to appear on specific sites:

• Adult tube sites (PornHub, XVideos) - High DMCA compliance, 85%+ success
• Leak forums (SimpCity, Coomer) - Moderate compliance, persistent re-uploads. Note: these sites frequently change domains (.su, .st, .cr, etc.) as they get blocked - search for current URLs
• Telegram groups - Low compliance (40-60%), encrypted channels harder to track
• File hosts (Mega, Rapidgator) - Respond to DMCA but content reappears quickly

For search engine removal, use Google’s DMCA form and Microsoft’s form (covers Bing, Yahoo, DuckDuckGo).

DMCA Success Rates by Platform Type

Not all sites respond equally to DMCA notices:

• High-compliance sites (Reddit, PornHub, major social): 85-95% success within 48 hours
• Forum-style sites (SimpCity, leak forums): 60-75% success, often needs multiple notices
• Encrypted platforms (Telegram): 40-60% success due to privacy features
• Offshore sites (.su, .to, .so domains): Very low compliance - focus on search engine deindexing

DMCA Forms for Adult Platforms & Leak Sites

Unlike general social media, Fansly leaks primarily appear on adult-specific platforms. Here are direct links to file takedowns:

What If The Leak Site Ignores Me?

Some leak sites will ignore you forever. That’s fine - remove them from Google instead. If no one can find the leak through search, the damage drops dramatically.

Google Removal Process

1. Go to Google’s DMCA removal page
2. Sign in with your Google account
3. Select “Web Search”
4. Enter the URLs containing your content
5. Provide links to your original content (your Fansly profile works)
6. Submit and wait 3-7 days

Bing, Yahoo, and DuckDuckGo

Bing powers Yahoo and DuckDuckGo search results. One Bing removal handles all three:

1. Go to Microsoft’s DMCA form
2. Submit your notice
3. Wait approximately 10 days

Can I Go Over Their Head to the Hosting Company?

Site ignoring you? Go over their head. Most leak sites rent server space from hosting companies that do care about DMCA compliance.

1. Use WHOIS lookup to find the site’s host
2. Find the host’s abuse email (usually [email protected])
3. Send your DMCA notice to the hosting provider
4. Many hosts will suspend sites that repeatedly violate copyright

This works best for sites hosted in the US, EU, or other DMCA-respecting jurisdictions. Sites on Russian (.su) or offshore hosting rarely comply.

What If Someone Disputes Your Takedown?

Occasionally, a site or uploader will file a counter-notice claiming they have rights to your content. Here’s how to handle it:

When you receive a counter-notice:

1. Review the claim - Is it a legitimate dispute or just a delay tactic? Most leak site counter-notices are baseless
2. Gather your evidence - Screenshots of your Fansly upload dates, watermarks, subscriber-only content status
3. Respond within the deadline - Platforms typically give you 10-14 business days to take legal action or the content gets restored

Your options:

• Let it go - If the content is low-impact and you’ve already deindexed it from search engines
• File again - Some platforms allow you to refile with additional evidence
• Escalate legally - Consult an IP attorney if the content is causing significant harm

Fansly vs OnlyFans: Security Comparison

If you’re on both platforms, here’s how their protection features differ. For OnlyFans-specific steps, see our OnlyFans leak removal guide.

Key difference: Fansly automates content protection invisibly, while OnlyFans requires you to enable settings manually.

Sending DMCA Notices

When a site lacks a DMCA form, email their abuse contact (found via WHOIS lookup). Your notice needs:

• Your full legal name and contact info
• URLs of infringing content
• Link to your original Fansly content
• Statement under penalty of perjury that you own the content
• Your signature

Keep it formal but brief. Most hosts respond within 48-72 hours if they comply with DMCA.

How Do I Know If My Content Gets Leaked Again?

Leakers don’t give up after one takedown. Set up regular monitoring so you catch re-uploads fast:

Manual Monitoring

• Search your username + “leaked” weekly on Google
• Check Google Images with reverse image search
• Search on known leak forums (without engaging)

Automated Monitoring

Professional services offer 24/7 monitoring including:

• Dark web scanning
• Telegram group monitoring
• Automatic alerts when content appears
• Immediate takedown filing

Should I Handle Takedowns Myself?

For Fansly creators, the decision depends on your leak volume and available time:

DIY makes sense if: Occasional leaks, mostly on compliant sites, you have time to monitor.

Professional makes sense if: Frequent leaks, content on forums/Telegram, you’d rather focus on creating.

Case Study: Fansly Creator Leak Removal

What happened: A top 5% Fansly creator (6,000 subs) found their content on SimpCity, two tube sites, and a Telegram group. Here’s how they handled it:

Actions taken:

1. DMCA filed to PornHub and XVideos (tube sites)
2. Multiple notices to SimpCity forum
3. Telegram DMCA submission
4. Google deindexing requests for all URLs

Results:

• PornHub: Removed in 28 hours
• XVideos: Removed in 36 hours
• SimpCity: Removed after 3rd notice (12 days total)
• Telegram: Channel suspended after 2 weeks
• Google: All URLs deindexed within 6 days

Outcome: Content visibility dropped 94% within 3 weeks. Ongoing monitoring caught 2 re-uploads in the following month, both removed within 48 hours.
