These aren’t websites — standard DMCA doesn’t apply the same way.
Telegram and Discord do not accept standard DMCA notices the way web hosts do — neither platform has a standard DMCA agent on file, a website-style notice format, or the escalation paths a normal takedown follows. Telegram processes abuse reports through its own internal system. Discord routes IP complaints through its Trust & Safety team. Both platforms require specific evidence formats, specific filing channels, and specific follow-up procedures that are completely different from filing a DMCA notice with a web host or search engine. Most takedown services don’t bother because the process isn’t automatable.
