If you received a message that goes against Facebook Community Standards such as bullying / harassment, impersonation, direct threats, sexual violence and exploitation or even spam, you are always encouraged to report. (The person who reported won’t be notified to the reportee)

If you ever feel that something happening via Messenger leads to immediate danger for someone, it is advised to file a police report / complaint in order to be safe.

If someone is bothering you, that annoyance can be avoided by ignoring the conversation or blocking them. Learn about how to ignore a conversation and how to block messages from someone.
