  • Depending on the type of post, you should choose the selection box accordingly:
    Is the post a hateful post? Sharing private information?
  • After you’ve chosen the correct box selection, click “Submit report.”
  • And that’s it!
Please note that sometimes you'll be asked to fill a CAPTCHA before being able to submit a report.
You will always be asked to fill a CAPTCHA if you're not signed into your Google account.
So, yeah. That’s how you report an abusive post.
