Pornographic photos on Facebook

9 replies

SC10 · 28/02/2019 07:16

I have recently been suddenly getting very explicit pornographic photos of people in my People You May Know bar when I go onto Facebook. I have tried blocking each one but as soon as I do loads more come - can anyone suggest how I can stop this happening as I can't see anywhere on the Facebook page to report this particular problem?

That's horrible. I'm on an FB moderators group, I'll ask there.

Thank you so much, I know it sounds silly but it's been happening for a week now and is getting me down a bit.

The mods on the group approve posts, so it hasn't posted yet. I'll keep an eye on it though.

Changing your password might help? Maybe?

My post hasn't been approved yet, but I looked on Google. Apparently it's been going on for a while. You can report each one as they come in but you'd have to click on it which I understand you wouldn't want to do.

Someone suggested this..... F.B. Purity v25.0.0 but look at it carefully yourself- I've no idea whether it is safe or not.

Thank you so much pickle, I really appreciate your help. I didn't think about googling about it until I read your message, I am shocked that it is happening to so many people and been going on for so long.

The group declined to post my question, but directed me to instructions on how to report. Entirely inadequate response.

Do you need FB? I'd be inclined to start a new account, or let your current one go dormant for a while.

No I don't need it and am going to take your advice and let it go dormant now. Thank you once again for your kindness in trying to find out how to fix for me x
