Report Menu Missing Category

The in-experience Report menu is currently missing a category to report content that violates the Community Standards on Political Figures and Entities. This is a key category and should be added so users can correctly report violative behaviour. This occurs in all experiences on the platform. The category has been missing for several years and is still missing in the new Report menu.

Expected behavior

I expect there to be a category added when reporting so users can correctly report content.

this isn’t an engine bug, it’s an intentional UI setup. political violations are bundled into hate speech or inappropriate content in the report menu. if u want a dedicated option added, that’s a feature request, not a bug report. :ok_hand:

I don’t think those categories match up. The closest category option which shows up when reporting certain types of content in an experience is ‘Real-life events’ but I don’t think that category matches correctly either.

I’m also fairly certain this is a bug, not a feature request.

Hey @weselito, you’re right, this maps to the Real-life events category. We design the reporting UX to be easy to read and choose from, while under the hood we review against all of our community standards. So the UX categories won’t map one-to-one to our community standards.
Thanks for the feedback. Your understanding is greatly appreciated.
