What reporting does and does not do

Reporting content does not guarantee removal. Automated screening and moderators review reports, and automated tools alone are never used to declare that a substantive allegation is false. Affected users may appeal a decision.

Protecting yourself

Publish under an approved pseudonym if disclosure would put you at risk, hide your precise location, disable message requests, and remove private information from documents before uploading them.
