What's next
Our team and technology will review your report. If we find a rule violation, we'll let you know what actions we're taking.
What's our process?
Context matters. We consider the following factors when enforcing our rules (this isn't a complete list):
• Does the reported content target people because of their identity?
• How severe is this violation?
• Was the report submitted by the person being targeted?
Creating duplicate reports will not accelerate our process.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:sflxm2fxohaqpfgahgdlm7rl/bafkreigei2sw2qlrsvqyb46sgpko6waaqtiwdscuekpcc3n64i3g36j7fu@jpeg)
