Do takedowns work internationally?

Last updated on Nov 06, 2026

Fanlock can pursue eligible reports involving sites and platforms in different countries. The available route depends on the recipient’s policies, the evidence and the applicable legal framework.

The DMCA is a U.S. law. A site outside the United States does not necessarily have the same obligations or response process. Where supported, we can use platform reporting, hosting-provider escalation or search-delisting routes within your plan’s coverage.

We cannot guarantee that every overseas site will respond or remove the material.
