Remove Your Content from Pornhub: DMCA Takedowns

Pornhub is an adult video site where creators publish clips. Anything posted on a tube site, previews and trailers included, can be downloaded and re-posted elsewhere under a new title, often with your branding cropped out.

If a search for your name and your Pornhub handle turned up nothing, that doesn't mean your content is safe. Usually it means the search used the wrong signal.

Matching by face, not by platform or filename

Noticeora builds a facial reference from photos and videos you control, then scans image hosts, tube sites, forums and search results for visual matches. A Pornhub video that was re-encoded, cropped or renamed still matches, because the comparison is against the person in the frame. Each candidate is reviewed before a notice goes out, which avoids false positives and separates genuine re-uploads from AI-generated fabrications.

DMCA for leaks, TAKE IT DOWN for fabrications

A confirmed leak of your actual content is copyright infringement, so it is filed as a DMCA notice. A synthetic fabrication that only resembles you was never copied from anything you made, so it goes under the TAKE IT DOWN Act instead. Read the full breakdown of when each applies. If you would rather file one yourself first, the DMCA takedown letter generator creates a properly formatted notice in minutes.

Where leaked Pornhub content ends up

Leaked copies are rarely on one site. They get posted to social platforms like Reddit and X, to leak aggregator sites and file hosts such as MEGA, and then indexed by Google Search. Browse the full list of sites we remove leaks from, and see the Pornhub deepfake protection page if the content circulating was fabricated rather than copied.

Reporting on Pornhub

Pornhub has a content removal request form for photos or videos posted without authorization; copyright claims go through a separate process, according to a Vice guide that may be out of date. The same guide says a person can ask Vobile, the fingerprinting provider, to add their videos to its database, and that fingerprinting does not work retroactively. Pornhub's transparency reporting, as relayed by TorrentFreak, says uploads are scanned against fingerprinted content and that uploader verification became required in December 2020. Pornhub is also listed as a StopNCII.org partner. These are secondary sources: check Pornhub's own removal request page before filing, and note that Noticeora cannot promise how quickly a request is acted on.

Continuous monitoring, not a one-time sweep

A single scan shows only what is online today. New copies keep appearing, including at URLs that were already taken down once, so detection runs continuously and every removed URL stays on a watch list for re-uploads.
