Sometimes we see posts, comments or pictures on social media which can be triggering, offensive or can cause distress. In these situations, we have a right to report the content to the platform providers.
Social media guidelines
Before you create a post on social media, think about how this content might affect other people on the platform, and ensure that it does not go against the platform’s community guidelines.
Each social media platform has its own way of dealing with reported content, and each platform follows a set of community guidelines.
Please see links to some of the most popular social media platforms’ community guidelines for each prospective community.
