How to Handle Bullying, Harassment, or Personal Attack on Facebook

Our Policies and Safety Tools

Our policies complement the tools we've built into our apps to prevent, stop, and report bullying and harassment online. These include:

Cyber-Mobbing: A Serious Issue

Cyber-mobbing occurs when a group of people target a single individual, using rumors, innuendo, and other tactics to discredit, isolate, and intimidate. It's a serious problem that can have lasting effects on victims.

To address cyber-mobbing, we've partnered with UNICEF, international cyberbullying experts, and child protection organizations. Together, we've developed resources and programs to educate and empower young people to stand up to cyberbullying and create a safer online environment.

Conclusion

Bullying, harassment, and personal attacks have no place on Facebook. Our policies and safety tools are there to protect our users and promote a positive and respectful online community.
