TikTok: report harassment, attacks or doxing
Here is the official process on TikTok, checked on 15 October 2026. Follow the steps in order.
Before you start
- Note the date of the first publication: that is what counts for time limits, not the day you found it.
- Take complete screenshots: page address, date, account name, full text.
- Report the posts to the platform (harassment, hate speech, false information about a person).
- If it continues or is serious, report it to the police. Helplines for your country are on our Urgent help page.
The steps
- In the app, press and hold the post, then tap "Report".
- Choose "Hate and harassment" > "Harassment and bullying".
- Select "I have been bullied or harassed".
- Add details if needed and tap "Submit".
- For a whole account: profile > arrow at the top > "Report" > "Report account".
You may need to log in to your account. Checked on 15 October 2026.
If it doesn’t work
An official form can go unanswered or be wrongly refused. That’s not the end: there are other doors, heavier but effective — the company hosting the site, the company managing its domain name, the laws of your country, the data protection authority. That’s exactly what we do for you, with your agreement.
- Reporting to the platform
- A written request to the site owner
- The domain name registrar
- The hosting company
- Search engines
- The authority or the courts
