Meta Company is an independent awareness and referral service. We don't host, block, or remove content ourselves — we point you to the official hotline, regulator, or platform team that actually can, and explain your rights under the EU Digital Services Act.
Modelled on hotline networks such as FSM Germany, INHOPE members and eSafety-style commissioners, we help people who don't know where to turn when they encounter harmful content on the internet.
Plain-language guidance on what counts as illegal or harmful content, and which authority or platform is responsible for acting on it.
Every category on this site links directly to the official hotline, regulator, or platform reporting tool with jurisdiction to act.
Through our hotline and legal contacts, we can pass on general concerns to relevant authorities and platform support teams for review.
We cannot block, remove, or delete content on any website, app, or platform. We have no technical or legal authority over third-party services, and we do not operate as a court, police force, or government regulator.
We can pass general concerns and referrals to the relevant law-enforcement bodies, data-protection authorities, and platform support/trust-and-safety teams — and we can tell you exactly how to report something yourself, directly and immediately, without waiting on us.
If you or someone else is in immediate danger, always contact your local emergency services first — do not wait for a reply from any hotline, including this one.
Each card links to the real organisation with authority over that type of content. Clicking "Report via" opens their official channel — we never ask you to send us illegal material directly.
Any imagery or content sexualising minors. Report immediately to a specialised hotline — never share, download, or forward it.
Propaganda, recruitment material, or glorification of terrorism and extremist violence.
Direct threats, calls for violence against a person or group, or graphic content depicting real harm.
Publishing someone's home address, phone number, workplace, or other private data without consent.
Content attacking people based on race, religion, ethnicity, gender, disability, or sexual orientation.
Repeated targeted abuse, stalking behaviour, or coordinated pile-ons against one person.
Fake shops, investment scams, phishing links, or impersonation designed to steal money or data.
Intimate images or "deepfakes" shared or created without the subject's consent.
Content encouraging, instructing, or glorifying self-harm or suicide.
Fake products, pirated content, or unauthorised use of trademarks and copyrighted work.
Coordinated, inauthentic behaviour spreading false claims at scale, including around elections or health.
Tell us the URL, platform, and what's on it — we'll point you to the right channel by email.
Most harmful content is removed fastest through the platform's own reporting tool. Tap a service below for its official reporting or safety centre page.
We operate with the DSA's "notice-and-action" framework as our reference point — we help you use the rights the regulation already gives you, rather than replacing them.
Platforms must provide an easy way for anyone to flag illegal content, and must act on well-founded notices.
If a platform removes your content or rejects your report, you have the right to appeal that decision internally.
You can escalate unresolved disputes with a platform to a certified independent settlement body.
Certain vetted organisations get priority review of their notices. We are not a certified trusted flagger — we help you reach the ones who are.
The most common questions people ask before sending us a report.
No. We have no technical or legal power to remove, block, or delete anything on a third-party site. We route your report to whoever does — the platform itself, a specialised hotline, or a regulator.
We only see what you send us by email. We don't publish it, and we only share it further with the specific authority or platform team relevant to your report, as explained in our Privacy Policy.
It depends entirely on the receiving authority or platform — we can't promise a timeline or an outcome. For anything urgent or dangerous, always use the direct emergency or platform channel, not this site.
Tell us the platform, the URL, and which country's law you believe it breaks. We'll point you to the right jurisdiction — often the country where the platform's users are located, or where the harm occurred.
No. We're an independent guidance service. We are not TikTok, Telegram, YouTube, or any other platform, and we're not a court, police force, or DSA regulator — we simply help you find the door that is.
Use these contacts for guidance, legal questions, or to raise a general concern for us to pass along — not for submitting evidence of the most severe categories, which should go straight to the specialised hotlines above.

[email protected]Please read carefully — in particular the limits on what we can and cannot do with content on third-party platforms.
Meta Company ("we", "us") operates metacompany.icu as an independent, non-governmental awareness and referral service focused on online safety. We are not a court, regulator, law-enforcement body, or certified DSA trusted flagger.
We do not have the right, and do not claim the right, to block, remove, delete, or otherwise take down content hosted by any third-party website, app, or platform. Decisions about content on any platform rest solely with that platform and, where applicable, the competent courts and regulators.
We do have the right to pass on information you submit to the relevant law-enforcement agencies, data-protection or DSA authorities, and to the trust-and-safety or support teams of the platform in question, where we judge this to be an appropriate and proportionate step. We cannot guarantee that any authority or platform will act on a referral, or guarantee any particular outcome or timeframe.
Reporting something to us, or through a link on this site, does not guarantee that content will be reviewed, actioned, or removed. Outcomes are entirely at the discretion of the receiving authority or platform.
This service is not monitored in real time and must never be used in a life-threatening or emergency situation. Always contact your local emergency services first.
You agree not to submit knowingly false reports, use this site to harass or target another person, or send us content that is itself illegal to possess or distribute. If you encounter such material, report it directly to the specialised hotline shown in our Report Guide rather than to us.
The information and links on this site are provided "as is", for general guidance only, and do not constitute legal advice. We are not liable for actions taken or not taken by any third party, authority, or platform you are referred to.
We may update these Terms from time to time. Continued use of the site after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
Legal questions about these Terms: [email protected]
When you email [email protected], [email protected], or [email protected], we receive your email address, the content of your message, and any information you choose to include (such as a URL or description of a concern).
We use this information solely to respond to your enquiry, provide guidance, and — where you have raised a general concern — to refer it to the relevant authority or platform team described in our Terms of Service.
We do not sell your data, use it for advertising, or publish it publicly. We do not maintain a searchable database of submitted reports.
We keep correspondence only for as long as needed to handle your enquiry and any related referral, after which it is deleted or anonymised.
If you are in the EU, you have rights under the GDPR to access, correct, or request deletion of your personal data. Contact [email protected] to exercise these rights.
When we refer a concern to an authority or platform on your behalf, the information you provided will be shared with that recipient, who will process it under their own privacy policy.
