Defamation Reporting Form

This form is only intended for reporting content posted on Instagram or Threads that you believe is defamatory. Please note that any other types of reports will not be addressed through this form. Content that is not defamatory may still violate our Community Standards. Learn how to report Community Standards violations.
Without a court order establishing the unlawfulness of the content you wish to report, Instagram is not able to act on that content. If you have not already done so, you may wish to contact the party responsible for posting the content directly. If you obtain a court order against them, you may provide it to us and we will be happy to look into the matter further. If you believe content on Instagram or Threads violates our Community Standards (example: bullying, harassment, hate speech), please visit the Help Center to learn more about how to report it to us.
Instagram is not in a position to adjudicate the truth or falsity of statements made by third parties, and consistent with Section 230(c) of the Communications Decency Act, is not responsible for those statements. As a result, we are not liable to act on the content you want to report. If you believe content on Instagram or Threads violates our Community Standards (example: bullying, harassment, hate speech), please visit the Help Center to learn more about how to report it to us.

A report alleging defamation must come from the injured party or someone authorized to report on their behalf (for example, an attorney). If you are not either, we will not be able to process your report. If you believe someone else’s rights have been violated by content on Instagram or Threads, you may wish to ask them to contact us directly.

For each piece of content you’d like to report, we ask that you provide a URL and explain why you believe it is defamatory. Learn how to obtain the URLs for the content you’d like to report.
