Right now anyone who takes offence at anything posted by someone else can report that content, and the poster can potentially get blocked or banned by Facebook. In the absence of such clear indications of malicious intent, I don’t think that you can speak of abuse. In other words, there should be a clear distinction between real (objective) abuse (for example, any kind of aggression against someone) and perceived (subjective) abuse (for example, people reporting a comment simply because the truth hurts their feelings). But I think that in such cases there should be a clear indication of malicious intent by the person who posted the content.

I don’t oppose the idea of having functionality on any social network that enables users to report certain content or notify companies of potential abuse.

The product team and engineers at Facebook seriously need to look into this functionality because it’s being abused - or used, depending on your perspective - to harass, silence and censor people, and is a serious violation of every individual’s natural right to free speech. Much has been said about this ‘feature’ on Facebook, but I have more to add to the ongoing discussion on the Internet. This week I got temporarily banned, again, for 30 days on Facebook after someone apparently reported a comment I had published below a friend’s post. Blocked from posting for 30 days on Facebook - thanks Fuckerberg
