When to report
Report anything that:
Targets, bullies, or harasses someone

Shows or encourage Child Sexual Exploitation (CSE) or grooming
Makes credible threats of violence or self-harm
Promotes scams, illegal activity, or harmful misinformation
Spams or clutters your feed, even after you mute or block

CSE is always an emergency. If you see anything that could involve CSE or harm to a child, report it straight away using the Child Safety or Emergency option.
