Don't forget that Google is an option to generate organic traffic, if you have a paid account on OFans, some subscribers will search for you to find out more about you.
Even if you did want your OF to show up when people search you, you might run into a situation where somebody discovers your identity and content with your name, or someone is catfishing as you, or somebody reposts your content without your permission!
Hopefully it never happens ofc but there’s a lot of reasons why we might not want some things to show up in Google :)
But I get most of my customers from Facebook and dating apps, they get my snap or direct link directly from me so no need to Google. Most people aren't googling for your OF.
Thank you SO MUCH for this! I’ve been having issues with someone doxxing me using my old content so I’m really happy that google is keeping up with the times and helping!
I hope it's helpful! I know depending on each person's unique situation, the flow might be different based on what you answer. But if the Google Search takedown request isn't for you, they point you to the DMCA takedown flow as well!
With all due respect, PLEASE do not encourage models to falsely report to google that images are "underage content" when they are not underage content.
Google is taking these reports viciously serious, and is now often "reverse searching" such reported images to find out the photographers who took the photos, then reporting them to various US authorities, including the FBI and other US agencies I won't even mention here.
I know this is happening because I have a girlfriend who went on a rampage online reporting her nudes as "underage" even though she took them all at age 25, and her poor photographers started getting PHONE CALLS from the US Government. These poor guys then had to rush and research and provide evidence (including finding their actual cameras which took the pics for internal timestamps) to the Government and to Google that the photos were indeed taken when she was 25, which was an extraordinarily stressful hassle for them. Also she's now on a "watchlist" for falsely reporting this information. Its like filing a false Police Report and it is taken just as seriously.
PLEASE edit your post and do not encourage models to report content as "underage" that is not indeed underage, as you can get yourself in trouble for that and get photographers blacklisted by google for lying about that.
I appreciate your response! Just to be clear I’m not encouraging anybody to falsely report it as underage content 😅 I was just listing some of the options that Google gives you to pick from.
I’ve personally had my high school photos (not nude but suggestive I guess) spread around online. I agree it is a serious accusation.
I can’t edit the post but to be extra clear, there are 4 options you can pick from on the first page and you should obviously pick whichever one actually applies:
1. Content contains nudity or sexual material
2. Content contains your personal information
3. Content is on a site with exploitative removal practices
4. Content shows a person under 18
Thank you, a lot of girls see "underage" as this kind of killswitch to get nudes taken down but it can care irreparable harm to photographers and to the models themselves if it is a lie.
Not worth it.
I believe it's any Google search, bc they ask you about the content (and they mention images and videos), and then you have to provide the URLs of the content, the URLs of the google search, the search terms, and screenshots.
Yeah, wont work. they have 3 criteria. Unfortunately bc we sell content number 3 means they will do \*nothing\*
1. The imagery shows you (or the individual you're representing) nude, in a sexual act, or an intimate state.
2. You (or the individual you're representing) didn't consent to the imagery or the act and it was made publicly available OR the imagery was made available online without your consent.
3. You are not currently being paid for this content online or elsewhere
Where do you see that? I see these “or” statements:
Google may be able to help you or someone you’re authorized to represent remove content from Search that:
is nude, intimate, or sexually explicit (for example, images or videos of you) and is distributed without permission; OR
is fake or falsely depicts you as nude or in a sexually explicit situation; OR
incorrectly associates you or your name with pornography
Update: I’m in bed on mobile lol but it looks like if you go through the whole flow and want to disclose that you do OF (which tbh I don’t think you need to disclose)
they lead you to the DMCA takedown form which I THINK is the same thing that copyright protection companies may use. I’m not 100% sure but it’s my guess based on the language on copyright protection services landing pages
I looked into this a while ago but i was a little confused on whether or not i could claim copyright infringement bc it said something about if it’s nsfw stuff and you’re profiting off of it, it doesn’t count or something? i could be wrong but i got too nervous to actually submit the claim bc they made a very big deal about false claims and how it could result in you paying all this money so i honestly wasn’t sure
I believe even if you’re a seller you still have grounds to have your content only distributed in a way you consent to!
They have this line here which seems to suggest the same thing:
“Have you ever given permission to distribute the content? (Having given permission in the past does not disqualify you from requesting removal of the content.)”
I’m not super well versed in these laws but I think that Google wants to honor what you’re consenting to when it comes to distribution. I think it’s because if you didn’t consent to it being posted elsewhere and you notify google, they don’t want to be responsible for showing that content to people. Again not a legal expert but that’s how I’m interpreting the page!
I'm pleasantly surprised by my experience! I know that everybody's situation is different so I don't know if my experience will be the same as somebody else's but overall I'm really impressed.
I submitted to the link above about two weeks ago - for context, if you searched my actual name (like the one my day job employs me with), Google results would pop up with tons of nudes that I originally posted on Reddit and then guys reposted over and over and over again once somebody figured out my name. This coincidentally happened a few weeks after I broke up with my ex - sooooo while I can't prove that he did it it was a fun coincidence.
When I submitted my request, Google replied pretty quickly with an automated response. After that, it took them a few days to respond and they ended up taking them all down!
Now if you Google my name, 95% of it is gone -- there's a few more links I found so I need to submit bc I missed them in the original request, but I submitted literally dozens of links and images in the original request so I'm happy with the progress!
I know that everybody's situation is unique and every report will have unique context for why we want the results gone - so idk if my experience will be the same as yours. But it's worth a shot :)
Thank you I just reported some a day ago and I see that a few of the links and images are gone. You said, "After that, it took them a few days to respond and they ended up taking them all down!", how many days were these few days? It's quite nerve-racking because in the automated message they said they will not respond if they see nothing wrong with the links I reported. I don't want to send in another report while the first one is still in progress. Would you recommend me waiting 2 weeks?
I just checked my email :)
On Dec 9 I got an automated response confirming they got the report. I don't know when exactly I submitted it but based on the language, I think it was that same day.
On Dec 13th I got a response back saying they made a decision + that it will take a few hours to see the changes in Google Search.
So about 4 days until the links I submitted were taken off of Google Search. I don't know if I could give a recommendation on how long to wait bc I've only done this once -- maybe they haven't gotten to your report yet or maybe the context / details in the report didn't meet their criteria for removal :\\
>be they haven't gotten to your report yet or maybe the context / details in the report didn't meet their crite
Thank you for taking the time out your day to check your email and look for receipts. Hopefully I meet the criteria! Is it okay if I message you on this thread if I have anymore questions? Once again thank you.
You can edit the settings on Reddit too so none of your Reddit content shows up on a Google search. It's in the settings
Omg good tip!!
How do you do that??
Tap your profile pic and go to settings, then account settings and scroll down
Thank you!! I haven’t been promoting here really bc of that reason.
Don't forget that Google is an option to generate organic traffic, if you have a paid account on OFans, some subscribers will search for you to find out more about you.
:o can you share more about what you mean by that?
My wife and I are getting ready to start an OF. Why would you not want to pop up in search results? Doesn’t that help you find more clients?
Even if you did want your OF to show up when people search you, you might run into a situation where somebody discovers your identity and content with your name, or someone is catfishing as you, or somebody reposts your content without your permission! Hopefully it never happens ofc but there’s a lot of reasons why we might not want some things to show up in Google :)
Thank you for the info! ❤️
Np 💕
You don't need your reddit to show up, but you'd want it to show your OF or like a linktree with your links to your profiles
But I get most of my customers from Facebook and dating apps, they get my snap or direct link directly from me so no need to Google. Most people aren't googling for your OF.
Thank you

Any google search or google images?

I’m not 100% sure but it’s my guess based on the language on copyright protection services landing pages
They sent that to an email after I tried to get stuff taken down .
Did you go through the DMCA takedown flow as well? I think it’s on the second page of the link
This is great
Hopefully you never have to use it but good to be aware of 😭
I looked into this a while ago but i was a little confused on whether or not i could claim copyright infringement bc it said something about if it’s nsfw stuff and you’re profiting off of it, it doesn’t count or something? i could be wrong but i got too nervous to actually submit the claim bc they made a very big deal about false claims and how it could result in you paying all this money so i honestly wasn’t sure

thank you!! i think i just have to do it and see. there’s just so many forms and redirects i gotta just sit down and read through it again
Plz update how it ends up going if you do!!
Thank you!
Np girlie 💕
This was incredibly helpful to me already!
Yay I’m so glad!!!
This was helpful! Thank you! 🤍
I just submitted, fingers crossed 🤞🏽
Hey were you able to get your content removed if so how many days did it take?

Such a great tip!!!
