Facebook Upgrades Their Abuse Reporting Features

Yesterday afternoon Facebook posted about more detailed abuse reporting features now being provided for users. Facebook wants to protect those users who experience or witness “bullying, harassment, unwanted contact or offensive behavior”. That’s why the company is rolling out much more granular reporting features. Users can select from “nudity or pornography, drug use, excessive gore or violence, attacks individual or group, advertisement or spam or infringes on your intellectual property” when reporting violating images.

Videos in contrast can report from the following categories: “Not a personal video, nudity or pornography, drug use, excessive gore or violent, racist/hate speech, or targets me or a friend”.
