Over the years, Facebook has had a lot of issues with hackers gaining access to users\u2019 accounts. If you haven\u2019t experienced this, you may have noticed at least a few of your Facebook friends have had their accounts hacked. Usually, a compromised account is obvious: suddenly, a Facebook friend is posting nonstop adware or suspicious links, or you\u2019re receiving messages from acquaintances that tell you to check out a new product. That\u2019s why it\u2019s important to activate two-factor authentication for your account, in addition to other safety features that Facebook offers. <\/span><\/p>\n

To make your Web browsing experience ever safer, however, activate dfndr\u00a0security’s anti-hacking feature. This feature will block malicious websites so that you never have to worry about a phishing-attempt or entering your personal information on an unsafe website. It will make sure that you\u2019re fully protected as you browse the Web. Click here to activate anti-hacking on your device:<\/span><\/p>\n

Reporting Posts on Facebook
\n<\/b>In addition to worrying about your Facebook account being hacked, you also have to worry about inappropriate content on the site. Luckily, Facebook has a feature that allows you to easily and quickly report inappropriate content, such as pornography or abusive speech. But what happens after you report a post?<\/span><\/p>\n

After a Facebook post is reported as inappropriate, it is then sent to Facebook for evaluation. If the post doesn\u2019t abide by Facebook\u2019s Community Standards, then the post will be removed. Facebook has restrictions on nudity, hate speech, and violent and graphic content; they also strive to protect intellectual property rights. You can view a complete list of the Facebook Community Standards on their website.<\/span><\/p>\n

Whenever you report a post, your report will remain anonymous, even if Facebook contacts the person responsible for the inappropriate content. However, just because you report a post to Facebook, doesn\u2019t mean that the post will be removed. If you didn\u2019t like a particular post, that is not enough of a reason for the post to be removed. Further, the number of times that a post is reported doesn\u2019t influence the decision to remove it.<\/span><\/p>\n

That said, if a friend of yours posts something that you personally find offensive, such as a photo or a status that doesn\u2019t violate the Facebook Community Standards, then you can send them a private message requesting that they remove the offensive post. You can also choose to block that person.<\/span><\/p>\n

If you\u2019re curious about the status of your report, you can receive an update from Facebook\u2019s Support Inbox. From here you can learn more about Facebook\u2019s policies, find out whether or not they made a decision on your report, and cancel the report if desired.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
