How Long Does a Takedown Take?.

Takedown times vary depending on the platform. Here's what you can typically expect.

Typical Timeframes

• Major platforms (social media, large tube sites): 24-48 hours
• Standard websites (forums, smaller sites): 3-7 days
• Difficult sites (offshore hosting, unresponsive): 1-2 weeks or longer
• Search engine delisting (Google, Bing): 3-7 days

Why Times Vary

Each platform has its own process for handling DMCA requests. Large platforms often have dedicated teams and automated systems, while smaller sites may rely on a single person checking emails. Hosting location and local laws also play a role.

What We Do to Speed Things Up

• Send notices to multiple parties at once (site + host + search engines)
• Follow up on slow responses
• Escalate to hosting providers when sites ignore requests
• Prioritize search engine delisting to stop discoverability quickly
