A video ranking for your name plays every time someone searches you. We get it taken down, and you pay only when it is gone.
Video results stand out in Google search. They are harder to suppress than text results and more compelling for the viewer. Whether it is a harassment video, content posted without your consent, a defamatory YouTube upload, or a viral clip with context stripped away, we handle video removal at the source and out of search.
Why a harmful video is harder to manage than a harmful article
A text result on Google requires a reader to click, read, and form a judgment. A video thumbnail in the same position plays before they decide anything. Video results pull higher click-through, hold attention longer, and have more emotional impact than a text post of the same content. One video with harmful, false, or out-of-context footage of you is doing more damage per impression than most written content.
The second problem is platform architecture. YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, and Facebook each have their own policies, escalation paths, and timelines. What qualifies for removal on YouTube may require a different argument on TikTok. A YouTube video removal case is handled differently from the same video re-posted to Instagram. We file separately by platform, using the argument that fits each one's rules, not the same generic request everywhere.
The third problem is re-uploads. After removal, the same video often resurfaces from a different account within days. We monitor for re-uploads and file new removal requests immediately rather than leaving that to you to discover months later. For broader content issues, the content removal service covers text, image, and video together.
GoogleWhere harmful videos live, and how we approach each one
Each platform has different policies and escalation paths. We file the right request for each, separately.
YouTube
Community Guidelines violations including harassment, doxxing, non-consensual intimate video, and deceptive content. We file the specific guideline citation, not a vague flag, and pursue the appeal path when the first review is denied.
TikTok
TikTok's Community Guidelines cover harassment, privacy violations, and non-consensual intimate content. The review timelines differ from YouTube, and the escalation path is through TikTok's safety team for urgent cases.
Instagram and Facebook
Meta's Community Standards cover both platforms. Non-consensual intimate video has a hash-matching removal path that covers both Instagram and Facebook simultaneously once filed. Other content is filed separately per platform.
Other social platforms
X (Twitter), Snapchat, Reddit video posts, and others each have their own policies and submission paths. We assess each platform separately and file through the appropriate channel.
Google video search
After a video is removed from its source, we file with Google to de-index the cached result. For videos still live at the source that meet Google's policy categories, we submit directly through their legal and policy removal tools.
Smaller and obscure platforms
Hosted on a site with no clear policy process? We contact the hosting provider, assess whether legal escalation is worth pursuing, and tell you honestly what is achievable before you pay.
Send us the video URL. We will tell you which platform path is strongest and whether your case qualifies for pay-on-success pricing.
We do not file DMCA claims we know are fraudulent
DMCA abuse is one of the most documented forms of censorship-by-complaint online. Filing a DMCA takedown claim against a video that is not actually infringing your copyright, to get it removed for other reasons, is a known illegal tactic. Platforms take DMCA abuse seriously, and a fraudulent claim can result in counter-notices, legal liability for you, and account suspension.
We file genuine copyright claims when the copyrighted work is yours and the claim is legitimate. For content that is harmful but not a copyright violation, we use the platform's harassment, privacy, or content policies, which is the right tool for those situations. Ethics-first means we do not take shortcuts that create new problems for you down the line.
What video removal costs, and when pay-on-success applies
A single YouTube video that clearly violates Community Guidelines is a different scope than a video syndicated across five platforms with a re-upload pattern and a defamation angle that warrants legal escalation. Scope determines price. We work pay-on-success on qualified policy-based removals, and legal escalation is scoped separately after the case review.
We tell you at the review whether your video case qualifies for outcome-based pricing, what the realistic timeline looks like, and what the suppression path looks like if removal is not achievable. No surprises after you commit.
Performance-based pricing applies to qualified removals: scope, eligibility, and timing are confirmed during your case review. Some content is legally or technically constrained, and we'll tell you what's achievable before you commit.
Remove the video, then shape what ranks under your name
Video removal is two jobs: getting it down and ensuring what fills the space reflects who you actually are.
File the right case on each platform, monitor for re-uploads
We assess which platform policy the video violates, file the appropriate request with the right guideline citation, and pursue escalation when the first review is denied. After removal, we monitor for re-uploads so a new copy does not quietly rank again. You pay only when it is gone on qualified removals.
Build what ranks in its place
A removed video leaves a gap in your search results. We support reputation management to build out the positive, accurate content that fills that space so the next search finds what you want people to see.
Video removal from YouTube and social platforms, without the runaround
Can YouTube remove a video that is damaging my reputation?
YouTube removes videos that violate their Community Guidelines: harassment, hate speech, non-consensual intimate imagery, doxxing, spam, and content that threatens or intimidates specific individuals. They do not remove videos simply because the subject dislikes them, and they do not remove factually accurate critical content. The starting question is which guideline the video breaks, and we assess that before any request is filed.
What happens to the Google search result after a YouTube video is removed?
Once YouTube removes a video, the page it lived on no longer exists, and Google will typically drop the search result as the index updates. This can take a few days to a few weeks. For cases where the URL was indexed and continues to appear, a de-indexing request to Google accelerates the process.
What if someone re-uploads the video after it is removed?
Re-uploads are the most common follow-up problem, and the fastest platforms to respond to re-uploads are YouTube (Content ID for copyrighted content) and Facebook and Instagram (NCII hash-matching). For other content, we set up monitoring so a re-upload is caught quickly and a new removal request is filed immediately rather than discovered weeks later.
Can I remove a video from TikTok, Instagram, or Facebook?
Yes, through each platform's Community Standards reporting process, when the video violates a policy. Each platform has slightly different policies and reporting paths. We handle these separately by platform. The threshold for removal varies: non-consensual intimate video has the fastest path, while other content depends on which specific rule it breaks.
Is it possible to remove a video I appear in but did not post?
Possibly, depending on the content, the platform, and the circumstances. Non-consensual intimate video has clear removal paths at the major platforms. Videos featuring you in a harmful or harassing context may qualify under platform harassment policies. Videos that use your likeness for commercial purposes without consent may have a right-of-publicity angle. We assess which avenue applies before filing.
How long does video removal take?
First-pass YouTube review for clear guideline violations can be quick, sometimes days. Appeals and escalations take longer, typically weeks. Other platforms have different timelines. Getting Google to de-index a video URL after source removal adds a few days to a few weeks. Legal escalation for defamatory video adds more time. We give an honest range at the case review.
What if the video is hosted on a smaller or obscure platform?
Smaller platforms vary widely in responsiveness. Some have clear policies and honor takedown requests promptly. Others do not respond to standard policy requests and require legal escalation or hosting-provider contact. We assess the hosting situation and tell you which route is realistic before you pay.
Who video removal helps most
Non-consensual intimate video
Handled through dedicated removal contacts at the major platforms, with complete discretion. The fastest removal path available for this category.
Harassment videos targeting you
A video created to damage your reputation, embarrass you, or intimidate you, ranking prominently when someone searches your name.
Defamatory video content
A video presenting false claims about you as established fact, with views and watch time compounding the damage every day it stays live.
Out-of-context footage
A clip that misrepresents events or strips context in a way that creates a false impression about you or your business.
Professionals and executives
Where a video in search results shapes impressions in due diligence, hiring decisions, or client relationships before any conversation starts.
Re-upload problems
You got one video taken down and another appeared. We handle the full distribution and set up monitoring so you are not doing this repeatedly.
Send us the video. We will tell you what is possible.
We assess every case honestly: which platform, which policy, whether it qualifies for pay-on-success. You pay only when it is down.
