Question 1

Protecting Your Content from Being Leaked

Accepted Answer

While Fanlock removes leaks after they happen, there are steps you can take to minimize the risk of leaks in the first place.

Prevention Tips

1. Watermark Your Content

Add a visible watermark with your official username or website. This:

Discourages sharing (the watermark makes it less appealing)
Makes it easier to prove ownership
Helps us verify content is yours during takedowns Tip: Place watermarks in areas that are hard to crop out.

2. Be Careful with PPV Content

Pay-per-view content is often leaked because:

Subscribers who pay once share it widely
Higher-priced content is seen as more "valuable" to pirates Consider sending PPV to established subscribers rather than brand new ones.

3. Monitor Your Subscriber Behavior

Watch for red flags like:

New subscribers who immediately buy all your PPV
Accounts with generic usernames or no profile info
Subscribers who request specific custom content types frequently

4. Avoid Sending Content via DM

Content sent directly in DMs (especially on platforms with screenshot protection disabled) is easier to capture and share. When possible, post content to your main feed or as PPV.

5. Use Fanlock's Automated Scanning

The faster a leak is detected, the less it spreads. Upgraded Fanlock plans offer:

Basic: Weekly scans
Pro: Daily scans
Max: Real-time monitoring Earlier detection means faster removal and less damage.

Automatic vs. Manual Removal

Fanlock operates in two ways: Automatic Detection & Removal (Paid plans) Our systems continuously scan for your leaked content and automatically initiate takedowns when leaks are found.

What Information to Include

For fastest processing, include:

The exact URL of the leaked content (not just the homepage)
Your stage name or username as it appears on the leak

Processing Time
