How to Remove Your Content from Thothub

Thothub's original site was shut down after a creator's 2020 lawsuit, but the brand survives as a cluster of unrelated clone and mirror sites trading on the name. That means there is no single "Thothub" to send a notice to, you are dealing with whichever specific domain is serving your content, and its hosting stack is your real target. This guide covers how to work through that, step by step.

Before you start

  • The exact domain(s) where your content appears, clones differ in operator, host, and responsiveness.
  • Every infringing URL, not just the homepage or a search result.
  • Proof of ownership, your original posts, files, or account links with dates.
  • A separate email address for filings, and a decision on whether an agent files for you so your legal name stays off the notices.

Step 1: Document every infringing URL

Copy the full URL of each page hosting your photos or videos, plus any profile or tag page collecting them. Take dated screenshots and note which domain each URL sits on. Clone sites disappear and rebrand frequently; your evidence file is what lets you re-file quickly when content reappears elsewhere.

Step 2: Check the domain for its own removal route

Look in the site footer of the exact domain for a DMCA, abuse, or contact link. Some clones publish one; many do not, and none can be assumed to be monitored. If a route exists, send a standard DMCA notice listing your URLs, but treat this as a formality that builds your paper trail, not the step that gets results.

Step 3: Identify the real host and CDN, and file there

Run the domain through WHOIS and urlscan.io to find who actually hosts and fronts it. Most clones sit behind a CDN such as Cloudflare; file through the CDN's abuse process, which forwards complaints and can identify the origin hosting provider. Then send a full DMCA notice to that host's abuse contact. Hosts have safe-harbor obligations and terminate or pressure non-compliant customers far more often than leak sites act on their own.

Step 4: Notify the domain registrar

WHOIS also shows the registrar. Send it a copy of your notice documenting that the site itself is unresponsive. Registrar action is slow, but repeated complaints from multiple rights holders have taken clone domains offline before, and your notice adds to that record.

Step 5: De-index every URL from Google and Bing

Submit every documented URL to Google at reportcontent.google.com and to Bing via Microsoft's copyright infringement form. This is often the highest-impact step: search engines process valid requests within days, and a de-indexed leak page loses nearly all its audience. For intimate imagery shared without consent, Google's separate non-consensual imagery removal route applies as well.

Step 6: Monitor for new mirrors

Because "Thothub" is a name multiple operators reuse, removals from one domain do not stop the next. Run weekly searches on your name and aliases, keep reverse-image checks on your most-circulated images, and re-file against new domains using your saved notice as a template.

What happens after you file

Hosts and search engines typically respond within days to a couple of weeks; the clone sites themselves may never reply. Keep every submission receipt, the record of ignored notices is what moves registrars and hosts to act. Expect to repeat the cycle when mirrors appear; speed matters more than perfection.

If you would rather not chase a moving target under your own name, Rulta handles this exact workflow for creators, filing host, registrar, and search-engine notices through its own agents and monitoring for new mirrors so your identity never appears on the paperwork.

Frequently asked questions

Is Thothub still the same site it was years ago?

No. The original site shut down after a 2020 lawsuit. The name now lives on through unrelated clone and mirror sites, each with its own domain, operator, and hosting, so every removal effort starts with identifying the exact domain carrying your content.

Do Thothub clones respond to DMCA notices?

Rarely and unpredictably. The reliable pressure points are the hosting provider and CDN behind each clone, the domain registrar, and search-engine de-indexing.

Will the site operators see my personal details?

A DMCA notice includes the sender's name and contact information and may be forwarded. Filing through an authorized agent keeps your legal name and address off the notice.

If one clone removes my content, are the others affected?

No. Each clone must be handled separately. Document and file against every domain where your content appears.

Is de-indexing worth it if the page stays online?

Yes. Most leak-site traffic arrives through search. Once Google and Bing drop the URLs, the page stops being findable by anyone searching your name.
