Tagged in adult content posts on FB? Privacy exec says mechanisms in place to report it

The National Privacy Commission (NPC) on Wednesday assured social media users that mechanisms are in place to report inappropriate and uncalled-for content on social media.

“Kung kayo po ay may reklamo tulad niyan at may nailalathala na hindi dapat, meron hong mechanism for reporting ang Facebook,” said NPC Commissioner Raymund Liboro in an interview on Super Radyo dzBB.

(If you have complaints and there are inappropriate posts, Facebook has a mechanism for reporting that.)

He stressed that social media users are not "helpless" when it comes to these things.

Liboro was commenting on incidents where Facebook useres were tagged in the comments section of a post which seems to have adult or inappropriate content.

“Kung hindi maaksyunan kaagad, maari niyo pong sabihin sa amin at kukunin namin ang atensyon ng Facebook tungkol sa bagay na ito,” he said.

(If the complaint was not acted on immediately, you can report it to us and we will call the attention of Facebook regarding this matter.)

The Privacy chief advised social media users not to “overshare” their information on their accounts as this allows apps or social media pages to legally profile a user using algorithms.  —KBK, GMA News
