For parents

Talk about what your child plays and watches before you set rules. Turn on platform parental controls, review friend lists monthly, and teach them to screenshot and report rather than argue with strangers. If something looks illegal, report it to your national authority as well as the platform.

For teens

You do not have to handle harassment alone. Block, screenshot, report, and tell an adult you trust. Never share personal details, school info or images with people you only know online.

Reporting well

Good reports are specific: what the content is, who could be harmed, and why the platform's own rules apply. Avoid naming private individuals, and never publish someone's personal information.

Emergencies

If someone is in immediate danger, or you encounter child sexual abuse material, contact your local emergency services and national reporting hotline directly. Do not upload that material here.
