Question 1

My real photos are on Rule34 — can they be removed?

Accepted Answer

IntimaShield files through Rule34's DMCA process and simultaneously escalates to hosting providers and Cloudflare CDN. We pursue removal of both the images and any identifying tags associated with them. We also file search engine de-indexing to suppress Rule34 URLs from search results.

Question 2

Does Rule34 have a working DMCA process?

Accepted Answer

Rule34 has a basic DMCA form but enforcement is inconsistent and slow. IntimaShield does not rely on their internal process alone — we file through it while simultaneously escalating to hosting providers, CDN, and search engines to ensure timely removal.

Question 3

My content is tagged with my real name on Rule34 — can the tags be removed too?

Accepted Answer

IntimaShield pursues removal of both the content and any identifying tags associated with it. We address this in our enforcement filings to prevent the tags from facilitating future re-uploads or discovery of your content.

Question 4

How long does Gelbooru take to process DMCA requests?

Accepted Answer

Gelbooru's response times are unpredictable, ranging from days to weeks. IntimaShield files through their process but simultaneously escalates to hosting providers, CDN, and search engines. We do not depend on Gelbooru's internal timeline for achieving content removal.

Question 5

My images on Gelbooru are tagged with identifying information — can that be removed?

Accepted Answer

IntimaShield pursues removal of both the images and all identifying tags associated with your content on Gelbooru. We include tag removal in our enforcement filings and address any residual tag data that could facilitate re-discovery.

Question 6

Does Gelbooru make money from my content?

Accepted Answer

Gelbooru generates revenue through advertising. IntimaShield can file complaints with advertising networks whose ads appear alongside your non-consensual content, creating financial pressure for faster compliance. This is a significant escalation lever that often produces faster results than DMCA alone.
