Social media is often used to distribute misinformative, deceptive, and offensive content, negatively impacting public opinion and the safety of users.
To protect a healthy digital space, it is important for users to report harmful content, helping to reduce its impact and maintain a constructive debate.
Digital education and verifying sources before sharing information are important steps to combat misinformation. Social media also plays a key role in monitoring and removing harmful content, but engaging users in reporting it makes this process more effective.
Hibrid.info shows you how to report this type of content on platforms like Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, X (formerly Twitter) and Youtube.
In the post at the top (right side) three dots appear. You need to click on them and then select the “Report” option. Then a table appears with several options through which you can choose the reason for reporting that post. (see pictures below)
The same option as on Facebook is also on Instagram. (see pictures below)
TikTok
If we come across misleading or offensive content on TikTok, we can report it by clicking on the same arrow that we use to share it with our contacts. Then the “Report” option appears and after clicking on it, options appear to select the reasons for the report. (see pictures below)
X (formerly Twitter)
On the X platform, on the right side of the post there are also three dots. After clicking on them, several options appear, one of which is Report. When you click on this option, a table appears with options to select the reasons for reporting that content. (see pictures below)
Youtube
Three dots appear at the bottom right of each YouTube video. After clicking on them, the Report option appears and you can then select one of the options. (see pictures below)
