DMCA, KISA, Cloudflare — The Complete 3-Step Process for Global Takedowns

Deleting content isn’t as simple as filing a report.

Platforms don’t respond instantly, and each jurisdiction has different laws and verification standards.

This article explains how our system leverages three major frameworks — DMCA, KISA, and Cloudflare — to execute verified global removals efficiently and legally.

1️⃣ DMCA — The Global Starting Point of Deletion

The Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) is the foundation of all global takedowns.
It applies to content hosted on foreign sites such as forums, blogs, video platforms, and mirror CDNs.

Through DMCA filing portals and abuse channels, takedown requests can be sent directly to hosts and registrars.
For platforms like Reddit, WordPress, or Imgur, verified DMCA reports are usually resolved within 24–48 hours.

Key Points:

• Strongest basis for copyright or intellectual property violations

• Requires proof of ownership and source URLs

• Most widely accepted global standard

2️⃣ KISA — Domestic Legal Channel for Korean Cases

For content hosted in South Korea, the Korea Internet & Security Agency (KISA) serves as the primary legal body.
Through official complaint forms and personal information infringement claims,
malicious content can be removed under local regulations and privacy laws.

KISA also facilitates collaboration with the Korea Communications Standards Commission and law enforcement when necessary.
Average turnaround time: 3–7 business days.

Key Points:

• Suitable for defamation, personal data exposure, or false information

• Requires identification or legal proxy submission

• Ensures complete compliance with domestic law

3️⃣ Cloudflare — The Technical Layer of Protection

When malicious sites operate under hidden servers or mirrored domains, Cloudflare’s CDN Abuse Form becomes essential.
By identifying and reporting abusive content to Cloudflare,
the system cuts off DNS or CDN access, effectively disabling the site’s global delivery.

This process prevents reindexing and drastically reduces the chance of re-upload or caching.

Key Points:

• Abuse reports include multiple links and mirrored domains

• Simultaneous filings possible for rapid suppression

• Highly effective for persistent or cloned websites

✅ Conclusion

A takedown is not a single report — it’s a systematic process.

Starting with DMCA for global coverage,
reinforced by KISA for domestic legal proof,
and sealed with Cloudflare’s technical blockade —
this 3-step protocol defines the global deletion standard practiced by professional ORM agencies.

Online, anyone can attempt to delete content.
What truly matters is how fast, how legally, and how completely it’s done.
