Agenda
Reporting policy violations ▪ There are two main ways to contact
▪ In the help center we provide
information and contact links sorted
by topic
▪ From content on our site people can
report abuse or violations of our
standards
A whole community approach
• Social reporting is a way for people
to quickly and easily ask for help
from someone they trust
• By encouraging people to seek
help from friends, we hope that
many of these situations can be
resolved face to face
• We let people know what happens
to their reports
