How to Remove a Blackmail Post from Google Search Results

If someone has posted private photos or videos of you online — and they’re showing up on Google Search — you need to act quickly.

These posts can spread fast, damage your reputation, and become impossible to ignore.

This guide explains exactly how to remove blackmail content from Google search results using the right tools and processes.

First: Understand Where the Content Lives

Google doesn’t host the content itself. It just indexes what appears on websites, forums, or social media platforms.

To fully remove a blackmail post, you’ll need to:

1. Remove it from the source site (if possible)

2. Request removal from Google’s search results

Even if you can’t take down the original post, you can still de-index it so people can’t find it through Google.

Step 1: Document Everything

✅ Screenshot the post and the page where it appears
✅ Copy the full URL from the browser
✅ Note the keywords that lead to the post in Google (e.g., your name or username)

You’ll need this information for all removal requests.

Step 2: File a Removal Request with Google

Google offers a tool to request takedown of content that includes:

• Non-consensual explicit imagery

• Private personal info (like name + nude)

✅ Go to: Google Content Removal Tool

Choose:

• “Remove information you see in Google Search”

• “Nude or sexually explicit items shared without consent”

Fill out the form honestly, attach evidence, and submit.

Once submitted, Google usually replies within 3–7 business days.

Step 3: Submit a DMCA Takedown (If Copyright Applies)

If the content was created by you (e.g., selfies, webcam screenshots), you can file a DMCA copyright notice.

✅ Go to: Google DMCA Form

Use the “Web Search” option and follow the instructions to:

• Prove the content belongs to you

• Identify each URL that contains or links to the image/video

Step 4: Contact the Hosting Platform (If Possible)

Many forums or hosting sites will remove content if:

• You flag it as non-consensual intimate imagery

• You cite Google’s privacy or copyright policies

Look for a “Report Abuse” or “DMCA” link at the bottom of the page.

Examples:

• Reddit → report via user form

• Dropbox/Google Drive links → file abuse reports directly with the service

Step 5: Monitor Search Results with Your Name

Use tools like:

• Google Alerts to get notified if your name appears again

• Reverse image search (Google Images or TinEye) to find copies elsewhere
