Reporting content is not enough. Measure recorded removals.

As of 15/10/2026, 82% of cases in the historical sample are marked removed. The calculation covers links created more than 14 days ago, for profiles with a subscription record, that entered a handling or removal status. This is neither a monthly rate nor an email acceptance rate: some cases have no recorded send date.

The per-platform figures are unavailable right now.

82%

of cases in the historical sample are marked removed

Source removal and search delisting are different outcomes. Delisting removes a search result; it does not delete content from the source website. The homepage rate uses a different sample, with different exclusions and age requirements. Neither rate guarantees the outcome of a new case.

How they are reached

Reporting methods configured on active registry records. A record labelled “email” may not yet have a usable address, so this total differs from the known-contact count above.

Trend

Cases with a sufficiently old recorded send date represent 53% of the sample. The chart groups them by send month, excluding the current month and months below 20 cases. It shows their current status, not removals performed each month. Historical logs do not all establish delivery.

Method

  • One unit is a leak case, not an email. Its current status determines whether it counts as removed. Age is measured from link creation, not its latest notice.
  • The platform distribution requires at least 10 historical cases and a known contact route. The overall rate also includes cases with no recorded direct contact.
  • The overall rate counts removed cases among all sampled cases. The distribution counts platforms: their denominators differ.
  • This sample does not represent every website, every detected item or every current client. Statuses and historical data can change after verification.
  • No platform is named here. The report describes what the sector does, not an accusation against a specific site. The per-platform detail exists: to obtain it, contact us.
