Sometimes things go wrong online. You might see something upsetting, be bullied or feel unsafe. That’s why it is important that platforms make it easy for everyone to report problems and get help.
What platforms need to do:
 | offer simple and clear ways to report abuse, bullying or harmful content |
 | allow users to block, mute or restrict comments and interactions with other users |
| make sure that users aren’t automatically added to groups – joining should only happen after accepting an invitation |
| provide fast and helpful responses when users report a problem. |

Whatever you need to talk about, they’ll offer support, practical help, guidance and someone to listen.
