What this channel is for
Use it for allegedly illegal ratings, reactions, photos, office entries or other user-provided information. For an ordinary factual correction, score question, privacy request or security vulnerability, use the corresponding contact route instead.
What your notice must include
A notice must be sufficiently precise and substantiated so we can identify the content and assess the allegation without a detailed legal investigation. Include:
- A clear explanation of why you believe the content is illegal, including the relevant legal ground where known.
- The exact URL and any additional information needed to locate the specific content.
- Your name and email address so we can acknowledge the notice and send our decision.
- A statement that you believe in good faith that the information and allegations in the notice are accurate and complete.
- Optional supporting evidence that is necessary and safe to share. Do not send unrelated personal or confidential data.
You do not have to provide a name or email address when reporting information that you believe concerns an offence referred to in Articles 3–7 of Directive 2011/93/EU on child sexual abuse and exploitation.

What happens next
If you provide electronic contact details, we acknowledge receipt without undue delay. We review notices in a timely, diligent, non-arbitrary and objective manner. We then tell you our decision and available redress. If content is restricted and we can contact its contributor, we also provide that person with a specific statement of reasons as required by law. Decisions are supervised by a person and are not based solely on automation.
Other requests
For privacy rights, use the address in the privacy policy. For factual office corrections, use the office contribution flow or contact us. If someone faces an immediate threat, contact local emergency services or law enforcement first.
Good-faith use
Do not submit notices you know are false, use the process to harass contributors, or repeatedly report lawful content merely because you disagree with it. Misuse may result in restrictions proportionate to the frequency and seriousness of the abuse.
