Remove Leaked Photos & Videos From Tumblr

Tumblr, owned by Automattic, maintains a dedicated NCII abuse reporting channel separate from their copyright process. As your authorized agent, we file directly through their intimate image portal — triggering cascading removal across the original post and all reblogs while keeping your identity protected.

What Can Complicate Removal From Tumblr

  • Tumblr's standard DMCA copyright form exposes your full legal name and contact information to the uploader through the counter-notice process.
  • The NCII form at tumblr.com/abuse/non_consensual_intimate_imagery is entirely separate from their copyright form — using the wrong one delays removal by days and triggers identity exposure.
  • Tumblr's reblog architecture means a single post can generate hundreds of copies across different blogs, each requiring removal.
  • Content cached on Automattic's WordPress.com CDN can persist even after the Tumblr post is deleted, requiring CDN-layer intervention.
  • Standard DMCA only addresses specifically identified URLs — it cannot trigger the cascading removal of all reblogs that the NCII channel provides.

How We Remove Your Content

  1. Start with the page links you know. Our free text-only scan looks for possible references to names and handles; it does not access private accounts or establish that every copy has been found.
  2. We file through Tumblr's dedicated NCII abuse channel as your authorized agent, requesting cascading removal that targets the original post and all reblogs simultaneously — bypassing DMCA counter-notice exposure entirely.
  3. If content persists on Automattic CDN caches or reappears through new reblogs, we escalate directly to Automattic's Trust and Safety team and file parallel de-indexing requests with Google to suppress all cached versions.

About Tumblr and how removal works

Tumblr operates under Automattic (the company behind WordPress.com) and maintains a dedicated NCII reporting channel at tumblr.com/abuse/non_consensual_intimate_imagery that is entirely separate from their standard DMCA copyright form. This distinction is critical: the NCII channel does not require copyright ownership, does not trigger counter-notice identity exposure, and processes with priority over standard copyright claims. Filing through the correct channel is the single most important factor in achieving fast removal.

Tumblr banned explicit content in December 2018, but non-consensual intimate images continue to surface through legacy posts that predate the ban, new uploads that evade automated detection filters, embedded media hosted on external services, and repurposed blogs. The platform's automated content filters are imperfect, and the NCII abuse channel remains the primary enforcement mechanism for intimate image removal.

The reblog architecture on Tumblr creates a content multiplication challenge unique to the platform. A single post can be reblogged hundreds of times, each creating an independent copy on a different blog with its own URL. Tumblr's NCII abuse team has the capability to perform cascading removals that target the original post and all downstream reblogs in a single action — but this must be specifically requested in the report. Our filings always request cascading removal to ensure comprehensive coverage.

Tumblr's content delivery runs through Automattic's WordPress.com CDN infrastructure, which spans global edge locations. The platform controls its response time. A submitted request is tracked separately from confirmed removal; no fixed turnaround is promised. During this window, direct media URLs may continue to resolve from edge caches. Our verification process monitors both the Tumblr post URLs and CDN media URLs until confirmed removal. Under the TAKE IT DOWN Act, Tumblr is classified as a covered platform requiring 48-hour NCII removal compliance. We prepare the report for the relevant platform process and track its response; hiring an agent does not guarantee priority review.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does it take to remove intimate images from Tumblr?

The platform controls its response time. A submitted request is tracked separately from confirmed removal; no fixed turnaround is promised. Standard DMCA copyright claims take 3-5 business days and expose your identity. We prepare the report for the relevant platform process and track its response; hiring an agent does not guarantee priority review.

Does filing on Tumblr also remove all reblogs?

Only if you file through the NCII abuse channel and specifically request cascading removal. Standard DMCA claims only address the individually listed URLs. IntimaShield always requests cascading removal, which targets the original post and every downstream reblog in a single action.

Didn't Tumblr ban all explicit content in 2018?

Tumblr banned explicit content in December 2018, but their automated filters are imperfect. Non-consensual intimate images continue to surface through legacy posts, filter evasion, and embedded external media. The NCII abuse channel remains active and is the fastest pathway for removal.

Can Tumblr identify who posted my intimate images?

Tumblr preserves account registration data, IP addresses, and activity logs under Automattic's data retention policies. They do not disclose this information to victims directly, but law enforcement can subpoena Automattic for uploader identification data through proper legal process.
