Is someone threatening to share photos or videos of you?
If someone on Instagram is threatening to share photos of you that you don’t want online, Instagram offers some advice on what to do. This is a serious problem that you need to deal with in three ways immediately.
- Contact local law enforcement and report this to them.
- Report this person to Instagram.
- Block this person. Depending on your privacy settings, people on Instagram can see a list of your followers and who you follow. Once you block someone, they no longer have access to your profile.
Instagram has more on this problem, with input from ConnectSafely, so that you can use Instagram without this threat.
