Report illegal content

For anyone, including people who do not use Petra

Last updated: 7 November 2026

What this form is for

Use it to report content you believe is illegal, in line with the notice-and-action procedure of the Digital Services Act. For rule breaks such as spam, harassment or fake accounts, use the report function in the app.

Private chats

Messages in private chats are end-to-end encrypted and we cannot read them. Tell us who sent it and where you saw it, or use the report function in the app once it lets you include the messages you choose to share. Please do not forward material showing the abuse of children; see our child safety page.

What happens next

We confirm receipt by email, assess the notice carefully and tell you the outcome. Reports about children go to the authorities in every case. If you disagree with our decision you can reply to us, and members affected by a decision can complain to us or use the out-of-court options that apply in their country.

Emergency

If someone is in immediate danger, call the local emergency number first (112 in the EU). This form is not monitored in real time.
