Question

Is there a way to anonymously report a photo on Facebook?

Top Answerer

If you report something on Facebook, it is always anonymous; the user you report will not know that you reported them.

How can I report a username?

Go to the account you want to report. There will be a three-dot menu button which gives you extra options. Click on it, click report, then choose what you want to report the person for.

Question

I've done all the steps to report someone and I sent my ID, and the person that is using my account is sending nude pictures of me to other people. What can I do?

Community Answer

If you've already reported them, the best thing to do next is to delete the pictures and close that account. Let Facebook know after you've done this and open a new account if you wish.

Question

Someone I do not know private messaged me after I responded to something he said in a post. What can I do to take action against this person other than blocking him?

Community Answer

The only other option is to lock down your privacy settings so that only people who you've added as a friend can message you. In the future, consider whether or not you should be posting comments publicly if you're concerned about people speaking to you.

Question

How can I report someone on Facebook if they deleted the page they made with fraudulent content?

Top Answerer

Considering that Facebook can only go as far as deleting the page, there is nothing you can do if the page has already been deleted.

Question

How do I find out if a person who recently tagged me is publicly shaming me?

Community Answer

Look on their profile, and at the image that they tagged you in. If you see anything potentially embarrassing, threatening, insincere, or inappropriate, you are being bullied or humiliated. You should report a user who is bullying you, it is against Facebook's guidelines.

Question

How do I report someone on Facebook who has blocked me?

Community Answer

You can't see a blocked user's profile, and this includes reporting them. The only thing you can do is ask a trusted friend who is also on Facebook to report them for you.
