You’re scrolling through your phone and there it is - your Fansly content on some random site. Your heart’s pounding. Maybe you feel sick. That reaction is completely normal, and you’re far from the first creator this has happened to.

Here’s what matters right now: you can get a lot of it removed. Not all of it, and not quickly — some platforms take weeks, others ignore you entirely. This guide covers what actually works and what doesn’t.

What Should I Do First?

When you’re panicking, it’s hard to think straight. Here’s your action plan for the next hour.

Step 1: Document Everything (10-15 minutes)

Before you do anything else, grab proof. Sites sometimes remove content quickly, and you’ll need evidence later.

• Screenshot each page showing your leaked content
• Copy the full URL (the whole address bar, not just the site name)
• Write down when you found each leak
• Save everything to a folder on your computer or Google Drive

Don’t skip this. If you file a DMCA and the site removes content before you have screenshots, you can’t prove it was ever there.

Step 2: Report to Fansly (5 minutes)

Email [email protected] and let them know what happened. Include:

• Your Fansly username
• URLs where your content appeared
• Brief description of what leaked

Fansly tracks repeat offenders and may ban accounts connected to leaks. They won’t file external DMCAs for you, but they’ll document the issue on their end.

Step 3: File DMCA Takedowns (30-60 minutes)

Start with the sites that respond fastest - usually Google and the major tube sites.

The first two rows are search engines - they won’t delete the content, but they’ll remove it from search results. That’s often good enough.

Step 4: Set Up Monitoring (ongoing)

Leakers don’t quit after one takedown. Set up alerts so you catch re-uploads:

• Google Alerts for your Fansly username (free)
• Weekly reverse image search on a few of your photos
• Automated monitoring if leaks are frequent (services scan 24/7)

How Do Fansly Leaks Actually Happen?

Understanding this helps you prevent the next one. Fansly has decent built-in protection, but nothing stops determined leakers.

Scraper Bots

Automated tools download entire creator profiles at once. They’re sold on forums and Telegram for cheap. Some scrapers:

• Grab every post including PPV
• Strip watermarks and metadata
• Run on schedules to catch new content
• Bypass basic screenshot protection

Fansly’s behavioral detection catches some of these - they claim to ban accounts before they mass-download. But scrapers evolve constantly.

Screenshots and Screen Recording

The simplest method. Someone subscribes, screenshots or records everything, then shares it. Fansly’s protections help, but external screen capture tools or a second phone camera bypass everything.

Social Media Reposting

Content spreads from leak sites to Reddit, Telegram, Twitter, and back. One leak on SimpCity can turn into dozens of copies across platforms within days.

Account Compromises

If someone gets your Fansly login, they have access to everything. Use a unique password and enable 2FA. Seriously - reusing passwords is how most accounts get compromised.

Getting Leaks Off Telegram and Discord

These platforms are where a lot of Fansly content spreads. Both have DMCA processes on paper. In practice, results depend heavily on notice quality, follow-up, and experience.

Telegram Removal (The Hard One)

Telegram is genuinely difficult. They often don’t respond at all — no acknowledgment, no action, just silence. When they do act, there are two types of removal:

Message-level removal: Telegram deletes specific messages/media but leaves the channel up. This is more common.

Channel-level removal: Getting entire channels banned. Rare. Telegram mostly reserves this for repeat offenders or channels that are almost entirely infringing content.

Option 1: Email DMCA

Send to [email protected] with:

• Your legal name and email
• Links to specific infringing messages (not just the channel link)
• Description of what’s yours (your Fansly profile link as proof)
• Statement that you’re the copyright owner
• Your signature

The reality: Telegram frequently ignores these completely. No response after 2+ weeks is common. When they do act, expect 5-10+ business days. Success rate is maybe 40-50% even with a properly written notice.

Option 2: In-app reporting

1. Open the channel with your content
2. Tap three dots → Report → Copyright
3. Follow prompts

In-app reports get lost more often than email. Try it, but don’t count on it.

Why Telegram is so unreliable: They’re not in a DMCA-friendly jurisdiction. They have no legal obligation to respond. Even when they do, it’s inconsistent. And when a channel does get banned, a new one appears the same day.

Discord Removal (Somewhat Better)

Discord is more responsive, though still inconsistent:

1. Go to Discord Trust & Safety
2. Select Trust & Safety > Copyright/IP
3. Fill out the DMCA form with server invite links

Message vs Server removal: Like Telegram, Discord distinguishes between removing individual messages and banning whole servers. Individual content removal is more likely than server bans.

Private servers are the problem. If you can’t access the content directly, file based on screenshots. Discord investigates, but success rates drop and it takes longer.

Realistic Expectations

Telegram: 40-50% success rate. Often no response at all. When it works, you’ll need to refile as content reappears. Experience with notice writing and following up helps significantly.

Discord: 60-70% for public servers, much lower for private ones. Response time 1-2 weeks when they respond.

Both: Don’t rely solely on platform removal. Focus on getting content out of Google search results — that cuts off how most people find it.

Does Fansly Actually Protect My Content?

Fansly handles protection differently than OnlyFans. You won’t find DRM toggles to enable - that’s intentional. A Fansly developer on Reddit explained it:

“We believe that the creator should not be involved in protecting their content… We are using technologies on demand where we think they are the best tool for the job.”

What Fansly does automatically:

• Behavioral analysis - Claims to detect and ban leakers before mass downloading
• Traffic monitoring - Flags organized scraping patterns
• On-demand DRM - Applied to media where it helps
• Screenshot protection - Enabled where effective (though easily bypassed)

You won’t see these working. They run server-side, which means you don’t need to configure anything but also can’t verify they’re active.

What You DO Control

Watermarks - Fansly adds your username automatically. You can also add custom overlays through your content settings. Put them somewhere hard to crop out.

Geo-blocking - Block specific countries, states, or cities. Useful for hiding from people you know, less useful against determined leakers with VPNs.

To set up geo-blocking:

1. Go to Privacy & Safety settings
2. Scroll to Add Blocked Locations
3. Search and select locations
4. Be specific - blocking Austin, TX is smarter than blocking all of Texas

Timeline permissions - Control who can see your posts. Require following, subscription, or other conditions.

Go to Privacy & Safety > Timeline Permissions > New Permission. Check Fansly’s help article for the full breakdown.

Do I Own My Fansly Content?

Yes. You own copyright the moment you create something - photos, videos, custom content, all of it. No registration required.

Fansly’s Terms of Service confirm it: “We do not own the media uploaded by Users… You retain all ownership rights in your User Content.”

This matters because copyright is what gives you legal power. When someone shares your content without permission, they’re violating your rights. That’s what makes DMCA takedowns work.

Your rights include:

• Reproduction - Only you decide who copies your content
• Distribution - You control where and how it’s shared
• Public display - You choose where it appears

You don’t need to register with the Copyright Office for basic protection. Registration helps if you want to sue for damages later, but for DMCA takedowns, automatic copyright is enough.

Filing DMCA Takedowns for Fansly Content

The DMCA (Digital Millennium Copyright Act) is why takedowns work. Send a valid notice and sites must remove your content or face legal liability.

Direct DMCA Forms for Common Sites

Most sites where Fansly content leaks have direct removal forms:

When Sites Don’t Have Forms

Some sites hide their contact info. First, check if the site typically responds to DMCA notices - this helps you prioritize your efforts. Here’s how to find contact info:

1. Look for DMCA or Copyright links in the footer
2. Check for abuse@ or dmca@ email addresses
3. Use WHOIS lookup to find their hosting provider
4. File DMCA with the host if the site ignores you

What If They Ignore My DMCA?

Some sites will never comply. That’s fine - you have other options.

Go to Google

If you can’t get the content removed, get it removed from search results. File with:

• Google DMCA form - 1-2 weeks
• Microsoft DMCA form - ~10 days (covers Bing, Yahoo, DuckDuckGo)

People can’t find what Google doesn’t show. Deindexing cuts off 90%+ of how people discover leaked content.

Go to Their Host

Sites rent server space from hosting companies that often do care about DMCA compliance.

1. WHOIS lookup the site’s domain
2. Find the hosting provider
3. Email their abuse contact (usually [email protected])
4. Send your DMCA notice

Hosts frequently suspend sites with repeat copyright violations. This works best for US/EU-hosted sites. Russian (.su) or offshore hosting rarely complies.

Offshore Sites: Be Realistic

Sites on .su, .to, .so domains exist specifically to avoid takedowns. Direct removal usually won’t happen. Focus your energy on:

• Deindexing from search engines
• Host complaints if they’re not on bulletproof hosting
• Monitoring for re-uploads on compliant platforms

What If Someone Disputes My Takedown?

Occasionally, someone files a counter-notice claiming they have rights to your content. Don’t panic. (If you’re on the other side - disputing a wrongful takedown against your own content - use our counter-notice generator.)

What happens:

1. The platform notifies you of the counter-notice
2. You have 10-14 business days to file legal action
3. If you don’t, the content may be restored

Most counter-notices for Fansly content are filed in bad faith - leakers know they don’t own your work. Your options:

• Review the claim - Is there any legitimate basis? (Usually no)
• Gather evidence - Upload dates, watermarks, subscriber-only status
• Respond - Some platforms let you refile with better documentation
• Consult a lawyer if damages are significant

Counter-notices are actually rare. Most leak sites just ignore takedowns rather than actively fighting them.

Fansly vs OnlyFans: Which Protects Better?

If you’re on both platforms, here’s the honest comparison. For OnlyFans-specific steps, check our OnlyFans leak removal guide.

The real difference: Fansly automates protection invisibly. OnlyFans makes you enable things yourself. Neither is leak-proof - determined scrapers bypass both.

Fansly’s claim to proactively ban leakers through behavioral analysis is hard to verify, but anecdotally, some creators report fewer leaks after switching from OnlyFans.

Should I Handle This Myself?

Depends on how often you’re dealing with leaks and how much time you have.

DIY makes sense if: Leaks are occasional, mostly on compliant sites, and you have time to monitor.

Professional makes sense if: Leaks keep appearing, you’re on forums or Telegram, or you’d rather focus on creating.

Case Study: Fansly Creator vs SimpCity

A creator with 6,000 Fansly subscribers found their content on SimpCity, two tube sites, and a Telegram group. Here’s what happened:

Week 1:

• Filed DMCA to PornHub and XVideos
• Submitted to SimpCity (first attempt)
• Sent Telegram [email protected] email
• Filed Google deindex requests

Week 2:

• PornHub removed in 28 hours
• XVideos removed in 36 hours
• SimpCity ignored first notice - sent second
• Telegram: no response yet

Week 3:

• SimpCity removed after third notice (12 days total)
• Telegram channel suspended (got lucky - this doesn’t always happen)
• All URLs out of Google

Results: 94% visibility drop in 3 weeks. Two re-uploads the next month, both removed in 48 hours because monitoring caught them fast.

Note on Telegram: This case had a favorable outcome. Many Telegram notices get no response at all. The Google deindexing was the reliable backup.
