How to get a FB page shutdown

Earlier this week a car with 2 young lads proceeded to drive at almost 70mph through our small town. They weaved about both sides of the road overtaking traffic and running a red light next to the local school. They bumped into another car and continued on. All this occurred 20mins before school finished with the area busy with cars and pedestrians.

The passenger filmed the event and has since uploaded the video on a Facebook page which encourages people to drive recklessly like in the game Grand Theft Auto. This disgusting page has similar videos of idiots behaving this way and 100K followers.

I reported the page via the usual FB button options but it’s still up. It’s frustrating as there’s no simple email or phone number available to put in a complaint with then correct level of detail.

Does anyone have advice on how to better report this page? One day someone is going to be killed by one of these idiots, surely FB has a responsibility to not allow active encouragement of this kind of behaviour?

Report it to the police or tag them in the Facebook post.

Exactly this. Facebook will do absolutely nothing other than perhaps putting a “The actions in this video are dangerous and should not be replicated” tag on it

If the video shows them driving dangerously, what speed they are doing, their faces and license plate, the police will have a field day with it

Unfortunately they’ve edited the video so faces aren’t visible and number plate isn’t visible as it’s a POV style video. Can the police request FB give them details on who uploaded the video? Agree FB are seemingly useless.

Report to the police with the timings you mentioned. Cctv surely captured a lot of the action.

Four little pricks crashed a stolen car into the side of my flat recently, somehow missing scores of kids who were walking and playing out at the time.

The police had cctv from three angles to work with and arrested them all.

Facebook are useless. I don’t have my own account but a friend shared something to me so I watched on my husbands account. Ended up mindlessly scrolling and as a result I reported a video that showed a 15 year old boy being stabbed and killed on the other side of the town I live in. The video later had a sensitive video warning on it and something about community standards. I asked them to reconsider as this in my opinion breached 2 of the standards they claim to have. Video is still available to view.
