Home / Directory / Site not listed
When a site isn't listed
Most sites have a way to report, even if it's hard to find. If the site won't act, the company that hosts it may.
Look for the site's own process
Check the footer and help pages for links named Report, Safety, Abuse, Content removal, Legal, or Copyright. Send T-01 there.
Check the copyright agent directory
If you took the image, search the site's name or domain in the Copyright Office directory and send T-02.
Look up the domain
Enter the domain at ICANN Lookup. It shows the registrar and sometimes an abuse contact.
Report to the host
Send T-04 to the hosting company's abuse team. If the site uses Cloudflare, use Cloudflare's abuse form; it may pass the report to the real host.
Ask search engines to hide it
Even if the page stays up, T-05 can keep it out of search results.
Who's who
- The host stores the site's files and can often disable them.
- The registrar manages the domain name but usually doesn't store images.
- A CDN or proxy (like Cloudflare) sits in front of a site and may forward your report rather than act on it.
These can be three different companies. Send your report to the one that actually controls the files when you can.
Keep a record
Save the page where you found the reporting instructions, the date, the address or form you used, and any confirmation. It helps if you need to follow up or file a complaint.
