Pastebin.ai is designed for lawful text and code sharing, not credential theft, malware delivery, harassment, privacy abuse, copyright infringement, spam, fraud, or attacks. Reports are reviewed using the content, context, technical signals, and applicable obligations available to the operator.
What can be reported
Report exposed credentials, personal data, malware delivery, harassment, spam, fraud, unlawful content, or copyright concerns through the paste report form or [email protected]. Include the exact URL and the minimum context needed for review.
Do not repeat harmful material in the report when the URL is sufficient. Never send a paste password, complete encrypted URL, account token, or unrelated personal information by email.
How review works
Reports enter an internal queue with open, reviewing, resolved, or rejected states. Reviewers may restrict access, remove content, preserve limited evidence, rate-limit abuse, suspend automated traffic, or request additional context.
A report does not guarantee removal. Decisions distinguish disagreement from unlawful or dangerous use and consider whether the service can technically inspect the content. Browser-encrypted content may not be readable by the operator.
Practical next step: Terms of use - Read prohibited-use and enforcement terms.
Urgent credential and security cases
If a paste exposes a live credential, revoke or rotate it at the issuing system immediately. Paste removal cannot invalidate a token or erase independent copies.
Security vulnerabilities in Pastebin.ai itself belong at [email protected] rather than the abuse queue. Avoid destructive testing, privacy violations, or service disruption.
Transparency and corrections
Aggregate operational reporting should explain the review process without exposing reporters, users, or sensitive paste content. Material policy changes receive a new reviewed date.
Editorial corrections use [email protected] and follow the published editorial policy. Legal requests are evaluated for validity, scope, and the data actually available.
Report type

| Editorial error | [email protected] | Include canonical URL and primary source. |
| Account support | [email protected] | Do not send authentication secrets. |
