How do they find old pictures of myself on the Internet?

[Anonymous]

Other day, someone dm'd me on instagram with the link. I clicked it to find my nsfw photos on unofficial site from another country. I was tricked and humiliated by the group that I met from a game online about 8 - 10 years ago. As I expected that I cannot find a report button because it is homemade. Hell, everything is in Tagalog. So I wonder how possibly they find my old photos even though I deleted all accounts and start again under different name?

Someone in that group kept your pics, I don't know when in these past 8 years but at some point they leaked them and the rest is history. That could be something to take legal action against if you were able to point out who did it, as that is like revenge p*rn. Gosh, I’m so sorry you are experiencing this I couldn’t imagine.

I'm looking at this upload date. It was 2016. That's exactly when I find out that they posted it. I deleted the rest of my social media that doesn't track back to me. I means how do they find out it was me even though under different name on my instagram account. I don't post a photo of myself so far since incident. Geez, they doesn't let it go!! I want the peace!!!

Photos rarely disappear from the internet, they are still there, somewhere. There are NSFW pics of me on the internet from 2014 and there is nothing I can do about it.

I'm sure there is a way to remove it somehow. I won't give up on this!

A picture is never deleted from the Internet.

stupid internet! stupid me!

[butterly248]

It happens. Everyone does it. Sn you go to the police?

[Asker]

I intend to. If they can't do about it because of jurisdiction stuff then I will ring the police in Philippines.

I wish you the best of luck, and please keep us updated :)

[Asker]

I had ring the police overseas but turned out that they are fucking useless and rude af

[butterly248]

Try the cyber police!

[Asker]

No luck

[butterly248]

Please don't give up. Go to reddit and ask for help there!

[Asker]

I tried to do anything to get help but I'd end up hit the dead end. I tried police in my local. I rang police overseas. I tried citizen advice sites. I am not sure if Reddit can help as there are full of trolls. How come they can take down leaked GTA6 videos from internet last year but not for nsfw pics?

[butterly248]

Reddit should help. Make an anon account and don't give any personal details! Also leaks are never gone from the Internet

Why are you embarrassed?

[Asker]

No, It'll damage my reputation

[Jamie05rhs]

No, it won't. You're a man. Everyone will just think you're a badass.
