How to Report
A step-by-step guide for reporting illegal and violating content on Odysee to the appropriate authorities. You don't have to accept inaction.
Step 1: Report to Odysee Directly
While Odysee's enforcement track record is poor, filing a report creates a paper trail. Send reports to:
Email: hello@odysee.com
In-app: Click the three dots on any video → "Report Content"
Save a screenshot of your report and any confirmation you receive. This becomes evidence of Odysee's knowledge of the content.
Step 2: Report to FBI / IC3 (United States)
For terrorism, threats, CSAM, or other federal crimes. The FBI's Internet Crime Complaint Center accepts reports online:
Include the Odysee URL, screenshots, your initial report to Odysee (if any), and the date you first observed the content.
Step 3: Report to Europol (EU/International)
Europol accepts reports of online terrorism and serious crime from anyone, regardless of location:
EU IRU: Report Terrorist Content
Canada: Canadian Anti-Terrorism Tip Line
Australia: National Security Hotline
Germany: BKA Cybercrime Division
Step 4: Contact Local Law Enforcement
For harassment, threats, doxxing, and stalking — especially if you are the victim. Your local police can:
- File a formal complaint that may be required for legal proceedings
- Issue preservation orders to prevent evidence destruction
- Coordinate with federal agencies on serious matters
- Pursue charges under state/local harassment and cyberstalking laws
Bring printed screenshots, URLs, and any evidence of prior reports to the platform.
Step 5: Specialized Agencies (by Content Type)
Certain content types should be reported to specialized agencies in addition to the general steps above:
Drug trafficking/sales: DEA Tip Line
Illegal weapons/firearms: ATF Tips
Financial fraud/scams: FTC Complaint Assistant
Crypto-related crime: SEC Tips, Complaints and Referrals
Human trafficking: National Human Trafficking Hotline
Include the Odysee URL, screenshots, and any evidence of Odysee's prior knowledge (i.e., your report to them and their non-response).
Report Email Template
Use this template when emailing Odysee or law enforcement. Modify as needed for your specific situation:
Subject: Report - Illegal/Violating Content on Odysee Dear [Odysee Support / FBI IC3 / Europol / Local Police], I am writing to report content on the Odysee platform (odysee.com) that violates [Odysee's Community Guidelines / applicable law]. CONTENT DETAILS: - Title: [Title of the video/content] - Channel: [Channel name] - URL: [Full Odysee URL] - Date First Observed: [Date] - Type of Violation: [Terrorism / Harassment / Hate Speech / CSAM / Other] DESCRIPTION: [Brief description of why this content violates guidelines/law] PRIOR REPORTS: [Note any previous reports to Odysee and their response, if applicable] I request that this content be investigated and appropriate action be taken. I have preserved screenshots and additional evidence that I can provide upon request. Sincerely, [Your name - optional for anonymous reports]
Important Tips
- Always take screenshots before reporting — content may be removed after a report is filed, destroying your evidence.
- Use archive.org's Wayback Machine to create a timestamped snapshot of the Odysee page.
- Document the LBC tip amount visible on the content — this establishes monetization of illegal material.
- If you are a victim of harassment or threats, prioritize your personal safety. Consider consulting with a lawyer.
- Multiple reports from different individuals carry more weight than a single report.
- Keep records of all report submissions and any responses received.
