Previously, I wrote a post on the difficulty I had in reporting abuse or harassment on Facebook. I was not impressed, to say the least, with how Facebook lends itself to reporting and dealing with any type of abuse. I am hoping that Google Plus is planning to tackle this problem more effectively. So far, they look more serious, but I have not had the need to try it out yet, like I have on Facebook. My kids are not using Google Plus yet, nor are their friends.

Here are the easy steps Google provides for reporting abuse:

Report inappropriate content
If you come across a post that violates our Content Policies you can report the post.

To report a post:

Click on the arrow at the top of the post.
Click Report abuse.
In the pop-up window that appears, you can identify why you’re reporting the post.
Once you’re done, a red flag will appear next to the post indicating that you’ve reported abuse. To undo the report, click the red flag.
Note: If there are multiple contributions to a post, a gray flag will appear to each update after you click Report abuse. You can then select the specific contribution to the post that you’d like to report.
