Why this happens

OnlyFans content is leaked through subscriber screen recording, account credential theft, and bulk scraping operations. Some leak rings operate at industrial scale and target hundreds of creators per week.

Leak sites frequently use the creator's verified OnlyFans username in titles, which is unique evidence connecting the leaked content to the source account and supports OnlyFans subpoenas to identify the leaking subscriber.

Legal framework in Brazil

Lei nº 13.718/2018 (crimes against sexual dignity) inserting article 218-C into the Código Penal, plus Marco Civil da Internet (Lei nº 12.965/2014) article 21. From 1 to 5 years imprisonment under article 218-C. Aggravated where committed by a current or former intimate partner.

Brazil pairs the 2018 criminal reform with the unique Marco Civil article 21, which makes platforms directly liable in damages for failure to remove non consensual intimate content following notification. This is one of the few legal frameworks in the world to impose direct platform damages liability for inaction.

Evidence to preserve

Do not: Do not delete the original content from your OnlyFans account. The original posting establishes the copyright timeline and supports both DMCA and TAKE IT DOWN Act notices.

Five step removal process

  1. 1

    Preserve all evidence first

    Your OnlyFans subscriber list and the access dates for the leaked content. The original content with timestamps and watermarks proving original publication.

  2. 2

    File the Lei nº 13.718/2018 plus Marco Civil article 21 criminal complaint

    Report to local police or the national cybercrime unit. SaferNet Brasil can assist.

  3. 3

    Submit an erasure request under LGPD (Lei nº 13.709/2018) right to deletion under article 18

    Each major platform has a designated data protection contact. The request must cite the legal basis and identify the URLs. The platform has 30 days to respond. ANPD accepts complaints for non compliance.

  4. 4

    Run a biometric scan to find every additional copy

    Content posted to one platform is rarely confined to one platform. ScanErase identifies every current hosting location in a single scan, including mirror copies and AI generated variants.

  5. 5

    File TAKE IT DOWN Act notices for covered platforms

    Use your scan report to file the federal 48 hour notice yourself, in parallel with your domestic rights. The two regimes are cumulative, not exclusive.
