Even though Webtor doesn’t host or index any content itself, users can generate direct links like https://webtor.io/{infohash} to access specific torrents.
Sometimes these links get shared publicly — on forums, blogs, or aggregators — and that’s usually how DMCA notices find their way to me.
When that happens, I remove access to that specific infohash from the hosted service.
It’s not about removing stored files (since there’s no persistent storage), but about disabling further processing of that particular torrent.
Good question.
