Threats on Facebook: What to do in cases of intimate leaks, attacks and strong images

This manual was made in partnership with Safernet Brazil and the Cyber ​​Civil Rights Initiative and guides users in case of abusive content. Facebook removes intimate images shared by revenge, and Safernet and CCRI offer emotional support in some cases.

Let's see what to do according to each problem.

Intimate image leaks

Unfortunately, a very common chaos today. For some reason, intimate images of yours are in the possession of someone else who is threatening to leak you, either for money or for revenge.

It's a bad situation, you feel bad. For this reason, Facebook recommends seeking support from a friend, relative, lawyer, partner, mentor of choice or even from Safernet through the Helpline website.

Also indicated is to record everything that happens, with photos, screenshots (here Facebook teaches how to do) and even video or audio recordings. Ask for help if you do not know how to do or are feeling bad about the situation. The registration of images can later assist in legal action in justice. Store copies of images in different locations.

Content violent or inciting violence

Facebook is the place for you to share facts about your life, interesting news, opinions and more. However, it is not the place to spread violent images, videos and texts, whether in relation to humans or animals.

But we know that this does not prevent people from sharing violence on the network, and we can also act on it. The instructions are the same. Click on the three dots (). Clicking on them will bring up the "Report Post" option. Click on it and choose "This abusive, harmful or illegal item", and choose from "Involves drugs, weapons or controlled products", "An animal for sale", "Inappropriate or has adult products" or "This abusive, harmful or illegal item" "

Facebook account hacked

A lot of people have gone through this, and had their account hacked or hacked, losing access to their information, profile and content. The first thing to avoid this is to keep a password secure and complex, and to change it every three months at least (I know almost nobody does it, but we will try hard).

There are other tips, but today we will focus on solving this problem. To do this, you go to a specific Facebook site for hacked accounts, and fill out a form. If you still have access to your account, Facebook will help you change your password and protect your profile.

If the problem is with a friend, pass the site to him. If he has lost full access to the profile, you can fill out a form on that other site for Facebook to review the request. In that case, you should fill in her full name, her friend's full name and link to her profile, and explain what is going on.

Always tell the truth

It is possible to report, in addition to posts, also groups, profiles, events, announcements, collection campaigns, messages, photos, videos, comments, questions and others. Always use the three-point menu (which also appears in groups, events and everything at the top of the page) and the "Report" option.
