As football's boycott of social media comes to an end, we've published a series of videos to help users report abusive messages when they see them.

While it remains our position that social media companies need to do more to prevent online abuse, we all have a part to play in highlighting posts that breach the channels' respective codes of conduct.

Today we're highlighting advice from Facebook, Instagram and Twitter on how to report comments that include abusive language:

Facebook

Instagram

Twitter

The advice in the videos above is correct as of the date of publication, Tuesday 4 May 2021.

If you have experienced or witnessed discrimination on social media, you can report it to Kick It Out through their online reporting form or via their reporting app available on both iOS and Android. You should also make your local police force aware by filing a report here.
