Known Leak Sites
Unexpose maintains a curated list of known leak sites - domains where pirated and leaked adult content commonly appears. This feature helps you get faster protection on high-risk domains.
What Are Known Leak Sites?
Known leak sites are websites identified as common sources of leaked or pirated content. These include:
- Adult content hosting platforms
- File sharing sites with adult content
- Tube sites known for hosting leaked content
- Image hosting services used for pirated material
When your content is found on these sites, Unexpose can automatically create removal requests for faster takedowns.
Visual Identification
In Match List
Matches on known leak sites display a red "Leak Site" badge in the domain column, making them easy to identify at a glance.
In Match Details
When viewing match details, known leak sites show a prominent "Known Leak Site" badge at the top of the page.
Automatic Removal Requests
How It Works
When enabled, Unexpose automatically creates removal requests for any matches found on known leak sites. This saves you time and ensures quick action on high-risk domains.
Independent Settings
This feature works independently from the "Start removal requests automatically" setting. You can:
- Enable auto-removal for all matches
- Enable auto-removal for only known leak sites
- Or use both together
Enabling Auto-Removal for Known Leak Sites
- Go to Settings → Profile & Account
- Scroll to Monitoring Preferences
- Enable "Auto-remove high confidence matches"
The setting is disabled by default, so turn it on to opt in.
Respects Your Preferences
Automatic removal requests for known leak sites will not be created for:
- Domains on your whitelist
- Your own platform links
- Sites you've marked as authorized
This prevents accidental removal requests for legitimate content.
User Settings
| Setting | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Auto-remove high confidence matches | Disabled | Automatically creates removal requests for high-confidence matches: strong image matches on any site, plus matches on known leak sites |
What counts as high confidence
When enabled, automatic removal requests are created for matches backed by a strong signal: a close image match to your photos (or your stage name detected in the image itself), or a known leak site with your stage name in the page address. Lower-confidence matches still appear in your results for manual review.
Benefits
Faster Takedowns
Known leak sites typically require quick action. Automatic removal requests ensure your content is addressed promptly without manual intervention.
Reduced Workload
Instead of manually reviewing every match on leak sites, the system handles these high-priority cases automatically.
Focused Attention
With known leak sites handled automatically, you can focus your manual review on unfamiliar domains where you might want more context before requesting removal.
