Building an authentic social space
free from toxic manipulation.
FriendsBook combines client-side user shielding controls, automated rate-limiting against spam bots, and an ethical human-reviewed moderation pipeline to ensure everyone feels safe sharing real life.
User Shielding Toolkit
Take immediate control over your digital perimeter. Instant one-tap profile blocking, ghost muting (prevents offenders from knowing you muted them), and strict message screening requests.
Automated Spam Throttling
Real-time velocity filters throttle high-frequency bot posting, duplicate URL link drops, and aggressive follower-scraping attempts before they can infiltrate public feeds or chat threads.
Human-Guided Review
Unlike platforms that hide behind unaccountable AI bots, reported safety violations and ban appeals are reviewed by human operators to understand real cultural nuance and context.
How to Report Violations
Every piece of media and account on FriendsBook has built-in escalation triggers.
Reporting Posts, Reels & Stories
- Tap the three dots (
…) at the top-right corner of any post or reel. - Select Report Content from the options menu.
- Choose the violation category: Spam, Harassment, Hate Speech, Illegal Media, Copyright.
- Submit. The content is queued immediately for review, and you are offered an instant one-tap block.
Reporting Messages & Chat Abuse
- In any direct message thread, click the user profile header or hover over the abusive message.
- Select Report Conversation or Block User.
- The message transcript snippet is securely dispatched to our emergency safety queue.
- The user is immediately blocked from messaging, commenting, or viewing your stories.
Our Tiered Enforcement Structure
We enforce penalties proportionally based on violation severity rather than arbitrary shadowbans:
First-time minor infractions (e.g. accidental duplicate posting or spam links) result in post removal and an in-app notice explaining the policy.
Repeated spamming or directed aggressive harassment leads to a 7-day or 30-day posting and messaging suspension with appeal rights.
Hate speech, violent threats, illegal pornography, or botnet attacks result in permanent ban and potential reporting to law enforcement.
