How To Remove Embarrassing Images/Videos From Social Media Websites

5

Sharing photos and videos online is now easier than ever. Internet access is obtainable practically anytime and everywhere, and interconnected wearables and portable devices with photo and video capabilities are almost omnipresent. In such a world, finding damning material posted online can become a significant problem… especially for teenagers not mindful of the repercussions. So how large of a problem is it? In a recent study carried out by Northwestern University, twenty-nine percent of surveyed Facebook users reported losing face after disturbing material was uploaded online… others even take it a step further by uploading so-called “revenge porn” (submitting explicit pictures and video clips of people without their permission). In about 10 percent of broken up couples, at least one former member of the couple has published such materials online, as reported by McAfee in their study. Photographs published online are incredibly hard, almost impossible, to remove. Embarrassing pictures can lead to harassment, termination from work, lowered self-esteem, bad marriages and many other things. Here are some tips that will hopefully help those that have fallen victim to the dreaded, malicious and sinister uploaded content.

Tips To Remove Unwanted Pictures From Facebook:

You’ll find six different options as it pertains to removing photos from Facebook.

1.) As soon as the picture is opened, click “Options” and then either “report photo” or “Remove Tag.”

2.) You can ask the friend who published the picture to get rid of it.

3.) Another alternative is to send an email to [email protected], requesting that the picture be removed.

4.) You may also file a complaint utilizing the Facebook Intellectual Property Infringement Form

5.) Or post a blog in the Help group to get advice from various users and the Facebook team.

6.) If all else fails, you should lodge a complaint using the Facebook Terms Violation Reporting Form.

    Description
    This my endless request for an answer about an event that has been occurring for 3 months now. Targeted religious hate speech about me, using my old profile pictures, my full name, and my phone number to incite people from a specific religious group to call me directly and express their hatred. I have reported these groups for several time to Facebook with no success. So far they have posted 3 successive videos of me. The most recent video is inciting everyone to call me on my mobile +9617100702

    Dear John I have tried all the above mentioned reporting tools on Facebook and none is working. The system is broken John and people like me can harmed in no time by bullies and thugs. This is a dangerous place. I work downtown and I can see many eyes focusing on me the past weeks. This has been going on for 3 months now. First bullying me for being Gay now making a video of me that I have insulted Islam and giving away my phone number with my pictures to everyone. See by yourself John my mobile phone is being exchanged by the administration of the page on the same video comments and I am receiving hundreds of phone calls and messages wishing me death and threatening with bad things. This has to stop immediately John please. This a dangerous place. I ve reported everything to the Canadian embassy in Beirut and they advised me to leave the country for my safety.

    Dear John , please go through my previous profile which is Gaß Farah, mobile number 96171007027, which is currently blocked from facebook for verification issues (they never got back to me on that since!) and see by yourself the pictures and photos, taken from my previous profile (email [email protected]) and used in this video created solely to promote hate against me and incite a specific religious group to identify me on the street and attack me. At the same time they are using my registered phone number to promote hate calls and threats either by calling me or messaging me. This is getting very serious now, in a country know for religious and ethnic hate. I work downtown and in proximity this specific religious group that they are inciting to call me and threaten me. I have enclosed a sample of the threats and phone I’ve been receiving for the past week and half. This is a rogue country, with no rules and little security and freedoms. You can t jeopardize my life for being unsupportive in this matter. this is not Montreal or Toronto, this is Beirut with extreme levels of testosterone and thugs. murder can be easily done here with little consequences. please please please I am not asking for anything less than my right to remove these videos of me (proofs of ownership and ID sent and resent frequently) from Facebook and going viral . This is a safety issue you will help responsible for ! Thank you

    What Should I do next. I desperately need help !
