Remove intimate images shared without your consent

The first hours: what helps and what makes it worse

• Keep the evidence, not the file. Note every link (URL), the account or channel name, and take a screenshot that shows the page, the date and the time without showing the intimate part.
• Do not forward the image to anyone, even to friends who offer to report it.
• Do not confront the person who posted it. It often triggers more uploads and warns them to move the content elsewhere.
• If someone is demanding money or more images, stop replying and read our sextortion help page before you do anything else.
• If the person shown was under 18, go to the police first. This is child sexual abuse material, which platforms must treat as priority content under the Online Safety Act 2025.

The free routes in Malaysia, and where each one stops

Several routes cost nothing: the in-app report, a complaint to MCMC at aduan.mcmc.gov.my, a police report at a police station, and a claim before the Anti-Sexual Harassment Tribunal when you know the poster. They are real, and so are their limits.

Which situation is yours?

Intimate-image cases follow three patterns, each with its own order of steps. Pick the one that fits yours.

What we add to the free routes

Section 24 of the Online Safety Act lets any user, not only the victim, report harmful content to MCMC. So we can file both the platform report and the MCMC complaint for you, worded against the right category of the Act. A police report is different: it must come from you, at a station, and we prepare the timeline, links and screenshots so you walk in with a clean file.

• Google Search and Google Images. No Malaysian law forces de-indexing, but Google removes intimate images under its own policies and looks for duplicates.
• Overseas adult and leak sites. They sit outside the Online Safety Act. We use their removal forms, the hosting company’s abuse desk and copyright notices. See adult website removal.
• Telegram channels and bots that resell “collections”: Telegram leak removal.
• X (Twitter) reposts, where the Act gives no deadline: X removal.
• Lowyat and Cari threads asking for or sharing links: forum post removal.
• Re-uploads. Leaks come back under new titles; larger packs include monitoring.

How a case runs with NetClearer

1. Free, confidential assessment. Send the links through the contact form (Messenger also works). We reply with what can be removed, by which route, and the exact price. Nothing is charged at this stage.
2. Payment by card through Stripe, only once you agree with the plan. Work starts within 48 hours, faster on larger packs.
3. Reports at the source. Platform reports under each site’s rules and the Online Safety Act, MCMC complaint, abuse and copyright notices to hosts.
4. De-indexing. Google requests for every page and image, including copies we find on the way.
5. Follow-up until each link is resolved, with appeals where the rules allow and a short status for each link.

Malaysian law in plain words

Malaysia has no single “revenge porn” offence in force today. Cases rely on Penal Code section 507B (online conduct meant to cause harassment, distress, fear or alarm), the extortion sections when there is a demand, section 233 of the Communications and Multimedia Act 1998 for obscene content (up to RM500,000 and/or 2 years), and the Online Safety Act 2025 for platform duties. In June 2026 the Kuala Lumpur High Court upheld a RM60,000 Tribunal award against a man who shared his former partner’s intimate photos.

A Cybercrimes Bill passed by Parliament in July 2026 creates a specific offence, including for AI-generated images, but it is not yet in force. NetClearer is not a law firm: this is information, not legal advice. For a police case, the Tribunal or a civil claim, see a lawyer or a support organisation such as the Women’s Aid Organisation.

Discretion, from the first message

• We never ask you to send the photos or videos. Links and neutral screenshots are enough.
• We never contact your family, your employer, your school or the person who posted the content.
• We never ask for your passwords or for access to your accounts.
• Reports do not reveal who filed them; if a form needs your name, we tell you first.

Price and timelines

One link costs RM133, fixed price, no extra fees, and work starts within 48 hours. Leaks usually involve several links: 3 links RM316 (action within 36 hours), 10 links RM912 (within 24 hours, with a removal report), 20 links RM1,600 with monitoring for re-uploads; monthly plans from RM362. See the pricing page. We commit to actions and deadlines; each platform and Google make the final decision, so we follow up rather than file and forget.
