One of the most common problems that has emerged with new technologies is revenge porn. Porn revenge is the term used to refer to extortion involving an intimate video, usually by threatening to upload it online. These acts can be carried out by ex-partners or by hackers who steal videos from personal devices.
Regardless of the cause, once the videos are online, the top priority is to get them taken down as quickly as possible. In this article, we’ll show you how to delete porn from the Internet if you’ve been affected. If this is your case, stay calm, and we hope that this guide helps you resolve the situation and regain peace of mind.
Why do my porn videos end up online?

Two main reasons explain why porn videos end up on the Internet: revenge and video theft. Although the causes are different, there are steps you can take to prevent these videos from causing significant harm.
First of all, avoid keeping this type of content on devices connected to the Internet. If you store such videos on your phone and it’s connected to the web, you should know that you have a door through which any hacker can access.
If you do record personal videos, we recommend that you never show your face. If a porn video of you is uploaded on the Internet, but your face is not visible, the impact will be far less damaging than if you can be recognized with the naked eye; it also makes blackmail attempts much less effective.
How to remove a porn video from a website?
If you find a porn video of yourself posted on a website, your first step should be to contact the webmaster, who is the person responsible for uploading the video. How you do this depends on the type of site.
Some porn sites don’t actively monitor what gets uploaded. If that’s the case, contact the site directly, explain that the video was stolen, and request its removal. Most legitimate sites will comply, since refusing could expose them to serious penalties for distributing non-consensual sexual content.
If it’s an independent site, you’ll still need to reach out to the webmaster. If you can’t identify them, contact the hosting provider, that’s the company that provides the server for the site.
The hosting provider has the power to suspend or block the site altogether and end the problem. If this option fails, your next step is to file a police report so authorities can intervene, or turn to specialized services like Repscan.
If you ask law enforcement about this issue, they will tell you it’s increasingly common. That’s why you should never feel bad or ashamed. Revenge porn is one of today’s most frequent online threats, mainly because recording and sharing content has become so easy.
