What this page is

What the takedown record tells creators about getting content removed.

Every DMCA notice a site receives through Google is on the public record. Taken together, that record shows how much removal pressure each site is under, which matters when you're deciding where to start and whether to go to the site, its host, or Google first.

The data here is publicly auditable. Every number traces back to Google's own Transparency Report, which records every DMCA notice Google has received for each domain since 2011. You can verify any of it by visitingtransparencyreport.google.com/copyright/domains/[domain]yourself.

We refresh quarterly. The next update lands in roughly 90 days.

Why we publish this

Content protection is a category where competitors quote big numbers without showing their working. We'd rather publish ours and let creators, journalists, and competitors check it. If you find a mistake, email support@useprivly.com and we'll fix it.

Removal data

Takedown volume on the sites we publish removal guides for.

Counterintuitive finding

Leak aggregators are bigger than the tube sites, by a wide margin.

Most creator-protection writing focuses on the big-name tube sites: Pornhub, xHamster, xVideos, Tube8. Conventional wisdom says they're where leaked content ends up. The data says otherwise.

The eight Aylo-owned and adjacent tube sites in our cohort have 10.3M all-time URL takedowns combined. The aggregator category alone has 64.5M - roughly 6× more.

Fapello.com alone (24.5M takedowns) has more volume than every tube site in our cohort combined and multiplied by ~50. This is where creator content actually goes to die, not the household-name tube platforms, but the long-tail aggregators that copy paywalled content the day it's posted.

Methodology

How we built this.

Source. Google Transparency Report, per-domain pages. Google publishes the volume of DMCA takedown notices it has received for each domain since March 2011. Every number on this page is verifiable by visiting transparencyreport.google.com/copyright/domains/[domain].

Site selection. 50 domains chosen by Privly based on what we see in our own scan logs and creator submissions. The list spans aggregators, tube sites, file hosts, forums, and deepfake-specific sites. Curation is intentional, we focused on the ecosystem most relevant to creator content.

Data extraction. Each per-domain page is rendered in a real browser (the page is JavaScript-driven), parsed for the visible stats, and the result is written to a JSON snapshot. We do not scrape Google's bulk dataset. Per-domain queries are well below Google's rate-limit threshold and respect their published terms.

Refresh cadence. Quarterly. Google updates these numbers daily, but a quarter is the right cadence for trend signal versus noise. The current snapshot was generated on April 25, 2026.

Activity classification. "Hot" means recent four-week pace exceeds 1.5× the lifetime weekly average. "Fading" means recent pace is below 30% of lifetime average. "Dormant" means fewer than six URLs in the last four weeks. "Active" covers everything in between.

Caveats worth knowing

  • These are requests for delisting, not confirmed removals. Google's delisting rate per domain varies, published per-request on each transparency page.
  • Google groups data by exact domain. Subdomains and TLD variants are separate datasets (this is the mirror-domain pattern above).
  • Five sites on our list returned no Google data, most likely because they're too new, too small, or too niche for any DMCA notices to have been filed yet. We've kept them in the table marked "no data" for transparency.
  • The "Mar 10, 2011" inception date is when Google's Transparency Report itself began, not when each domain first appeared. It's reported uniformly across every site.
