DMCA Copyright Notice & Removal Protocol

DMCA Copyright Removal Request

Group Links respects the intellectual property rights of content creators and copyright owners. All group icons and preview thumbnails are processed as 150x150 compressed transformational thumbnails under Fair Use (17 U.S.C. § 107). If you believe your copyrighted image or brand asset is displayed without authorization, submit a notice below for immediate removal within 24 hours.

Fair Use & Thumbnail Processing Safeguards

As a web catalog directory, Group Links automatically resizes and compresses public group preview thumbnails to a non-commercial, heavily compressed 150x150 WebP format. This transformational preview serves purely as a visual indicator to help users identify public communities on WhatsApp, Telegram, Discord, and Signal.
