Remove your leaked content from Telegram
To remove leaked content from Telegram, report each message in the app, then email abuse@telegram.org with the exact t.me post links for non-consensual images, or dmca@telegram.org for copyrighted content in public channels. Telegram doesn't handle copyright requests for private groups, so those need a member report or legal route.

How to remove leaked content from Telegram
- 1
Collect exact post links
Copy the link to each post, not just the channel, and screenshot it with the channel name and date. Don't download or share the files.
- 2
Report every message in the app
Long-press the message on a phone or right-click it on desktop, choose Report, pick the closest reason and add a short note.
- 3
Email Telegram's abuse team
For intimate images shared without consent, send the post links and a short explanation to abuse@telegram.org.
- 4
Send a copyright notice
For content you own in public channels, bots or public groups, email dmca@telegram.org with every link, a description of your work and a signed statement that you're the owner.

Track and recheck
Leak channels often come back under a new name. Keep a log of each link and report, and report new channels as soon as they appear.
Why Telegram is the hardest platform
Telegram is built around channels and groups that are easy to create and quick to replace. When a leak channel is banned, a copy often appears under a new name, and private groups sit outside Telegram's copyright process. It takes persistence: report every post, keep a log, and follow up on each new channel. Leak channels often repost content first shared on Reddit, so check there too.
If the content involves someone under 18
Never keep or share it, even as evidence. Report it to the police right away, and use NCMEC's Take It Down service at takeitdown.ncmec.org to help block the images from spreading.

Telegram: frequently asked questions
Can Telegram remove content from private groups?
Telegram says it doesn't process copyright requests for private groups and chats. A trusted member can report from inside, or you can go through the police or a regulator.
What's the difference between abuse@ and dmca@telegram.org?
Use abuse@telegram.org for illegal content such as non-consensual intimate images. Use dmca@telegram.org for copyright claims on content you own in public channels.
Someone is pretending to be me on Telegram. What do I do?
Report the account in the app as impersonation. Telegram also runs an official bot, @NoToScam, for reporting impersonation and scams.
Should I join the leak channel to collect evidence?
Only if needed, and never pay for access. Ask a trusted person to help so you don't have to look at the content yourself.
