Report a link

Deutsche Fassung

If someone is in immediate danger, call the police on 110 now (112 in other EU countries). This form is not an emergency call.

Anyone can report a link on linkage that leads to illegal content, with or without an account. You can also report content that breaks our Terms of use. Never attach or send copies of the content; the link is enough.

What is wrong with the content?

Why is the content illegal, or how does it break the Terms of use? For a claim about copyright or another right, name the work and the right you hold. Up to 5,000 characters; optional only for the sexual abuse or sexual exploitation of children.

Needed for every category except the sexual abuse or sexual exploitation of children. Without an email address we cannot confirm receipt or tell you our decision.

After you report

A person reviews every notice that reaches us and decides on it. No automated tools decide on notices.

If you give your email address, we confirm receipt and tell you our decision and how you can challenge it. Until linkage can send email to you, replies come from Dennis Wiebler's personal email address.

If we take a measure against a link or an account, we tell the person who uploaded the file what we did and why, unless an authority or the law requires us to wait. We pass on your identity only where this is strictly necessary.

We report child sexual abuse material and other suspected offences that threaten a person's life or safety to the Federal Criminal Police Office (Bundeskriminalamt, BKA).

The Privacy notice explains how we handle the data in your notice.

Limits of this form

The form accepts 3 notices a minute from one IP address (for IPv6, one /56 network), at most 10 links and 5,000 characters of explanation in one notice, names of up to 200 characters, and 200 notices a day from everyone together. It refuses a notice in which a hidden field, which only automated programs fill in, holds text.

Other ways to report

You can also email your notice to abuse@getlinkage.com; abuse@lnkg.link reaches the same inbox. Our mail service rejects email that fails both standard sender checks, SPF and DKIM. If your notice bounces, send it by letter to the address in the Legal notice.
