Report abusers on Facebook with the Predator Alert Tool
There’s a great Facebook app that lets you report people as predator.
What to do: Log your experiences with the app, and they appear in a database of consent violators. The disclosure settings are super-good e.g. you can log comments anonymously, set it to “only show to other people affected by the same person”, etc.
If someone’s being a massive creep, or if you just want to flag up a known predator/abuser, then you may really like this.
