How to report cyberbullying
-
Keep everything that is sent to you with screenshots, whether they’re nasty comments, pictures or messages – try to get a permanent copy of it. This is so you can show these to someone you trust later on.
-
Report any bullying to the site where it is occurring. All social media platforms have a reporting system. It’s anonymous, straightforward and depending on what you’ve reported, there’s a chance it could get taken down quickly. You can find more information about how to report content to different platforms in the eSafety Guide.
-
If after 48 hours the image or content has not been removed by the site, or if you’re feeling afraid or threatened, make a report to the eSafety Commissioner.
