How To Report Inappropriate Content On Facebook

Facebook is one of the social media giant with millions of users, including some fake profiles! Sometimes we accidentally connects with them and faces the problem when they shares inappropriate content with us, that annoying isn't it? So what's the solution- Report them! There are dedicated teams throughout Facebook working 24x7 to handle the reports made to Facebook.

In order to effectively review reports, User Operations is separated into four specific teams that review certain report types. When a person reports a piece of content, depending on the reason for their report, it will go to one of these teams. For example, if you are reporting content that you believe contains graphic violence, the Safety Team will review and assess the report.

If one of these teams determines that a reported piece of content violates their policies or their Statement of Rights and Responsibilities, Facebook will remove it and warn the person who posted it. In addition, Facebook may also revoke a user's ability to share content or use certain features, disable a user's account, or if need be, refer issues to law enforcement.
