The social network Facebook has become the most used in the world, far ahead of its immediate follow Twitter. Both Instagram and TikTok we cannot consider them social networks themselves, since from the beginning they have never been oriented to be an information platform.
With more than 2.000 billion registered users, Facebook has at its disposal a large number of servers, servers that cannot always function as they should. In addition, it is also likely that we find some type of content that we do not consider appropriate. If we are concerned about the operation of the platform, the best we can do is Report a problem to Facebook.
Although the platform does not respond to the error reports sent by users, it is especially striking as this type of report is much more noticeable than when a user has a problem with their account that they cannot access, they have been stolen, does not remember the password ...
If you want to know how to report a problem to Facebook, below we show you all the methods available today.
Report abusive behavior on Facebook
One of the problems that all social networks face on a regular basis is the type of content available on their platform. Any social network worth its salt puts limits on certain types of content such as>
- Invitation to violence
- Organization of harmful acts
- Frauds and scams. This section is especially curious since from time to time ads are displayed that invite users to invest and that it has been shown on numerous occasions that it is a scam.
- Suicides or self-harm. Being a social platform, pages that invite suicide or self-harm are not allowed not only on Facebook, but also on any social network.
- Sexual exploitation, abuse or nudity of minors
- Sexual exploitation of adults
- Bullying and harassment
- White slave traffic
- Privacy Violations and Image Privacy Rights. Too bad that Facebook cannot be reported, as it is the queen of the invasion of privacy of all users who use its platform.
- Hateful language. Any manifestation of hatred of other races and religions is strictly prohibited on the platform.
- Graphic and violent content.
- Nudity and Adult Sexual Activity
- Sexual services
- spam
- Terrorism
- False news. This has always been one of Facebook's big problems, a problem that has spread to WhatsApp over time.
- Manipulated multimedia content. In this section are the Deepfakes, videos manipulated with the image and voice of a known person.
If you find this type of content on Facebook and you want to report it, you must perform the steps that I show you below.
- Just to the right of the publication, click on the three horizontal dots to access the publication options menu.
- Within that menu, click on Get help or report publication.
- Next, a list will be shown where we have to select what type of content the publication shows:
- Nudes
- Violence
- Bullying
- Suicide or self harm
- False information
- spam
- Unauthorized sales
- Hate speech
- Terrorism
- Another problem.
- Each of these sections in turn contains different categories in order to refine the complaint. Once we have sent the complaint, Facebook will review it and check if it violates its rules

Facebook allows us to report related violations with our privacy about:
- A video or photograph that violates our privacy.
- A video or photograph that violates the privacy of our child
- A video or photograph that violates the privacy of a sick, hospitalized or incapacitated person.
Report a video or photograph that violates our privacy
If we want to request that Facebook delete an image that violates our privacy, we must do so through the following link. He also invites us to remove our name tag of the image or video and incidentally, review the privacy options of our account to avoid being tagged by people who are not part of our circle of friends.
Report a video or photograph that violates the privacy of our child
In this case, Facebook washes its hands if the minor is between 14 and 17 years old as we cannot act on your behalf. In this case, he invites us to speak with the minor so that he may proceed to report the image.
If it is a child under 14 years of age, to request the removal of the photograph, we must fill in This form.
Report a video or photograph that violates the privacy of a sick, hospitalized or incapacitated person
If the image or video we want to reportr does not affect us personally but it violates the privacy rules of the platform, we can also request that it be withdrawn from the platform through the following link.
In this form, we must fill in if it is an image, video or other, inform if we live inside or outside the United States since the process is different inside and outside the United States.
- If we live outside the United States, the platform invites us to share the URL where it has been published and in the next window we must select whether it affects our privacy, that of a child or another person.
- If we live in the United States, the platform skips the request to share the URL where the image or video that we want to report is located and goes directly to the window where we have to select whether it affects our privacy, that of a child or another person.
Fake or stolen Facebook accounts
Report hacked account on Facebook
If our Facebook account has been stolen or hacked, the platform invites us to use this tool which will allow us to solve the problem. This tool will ask us questions related to our friends, publications, dates, places that we can only know if we are the legitimate owners of the account.
Report fake account on Facebook
If a person pretends to be us, Facebook also allows us to report them so that they automatically delete their account. To report a false account, we must access the profile of that account and click on the three points located below the cover photo and click on Seek help or report profile.
Next we must provide all the information that facilitates this process so that the platform can check that this profile does not correspond to us. This process can be a bit long and cumbersome but it is the only way to get rid of false accounts about ourselves.
Report Facebook account spoofing
The process to report that we have been impersonated on Facebook is exactly the same as when we want to report a fake account on the platform, so we must perform the same steps as in the previous section.
Manage a deceased person's account on Facebook
If Facebook has been informed of the death of a person, the next process is make the account commemorative. Memorial beads provide a place for friends and family to gather and share memories of a loved one who has passed away.
Once an account becomes commemorative, no one can log into it, so it is safer and absolutely no one can impersonate the deceased.
If we want report the death of the owner of an account you can do it through this link. If we are the deceased's legacy contact, we can get more information about account management through this link.
We can also request that the Facebook profile is deleted of the platform through this link.
