If you run across hate speech, pornographic material, or spam, or if someone is harassing you, we want to know about it! None of that is allowed on Scribd, Inc.’s websites or apps, and we encourage you to let us know about any violations of this nature by reporting them. We regularly review reported documents and remove those that violate our Terms of Use. Please let us know about material that shouldn't be up on the site.

How to flag inappropriate content on Scribd

  1. While on the document page, click on the "Full description" link below the document's title
  2. Select "Flag For Inappropriate Content"
  3. Select the appropriate option to tell us why it's a problem, and then select 'Submit' to send the report

If someone has uploaded your work without your permission, flagging it is not the correct course of action. Please use our online form to send us a legally compliant DMCA takedown notification to have it removed from the site. See our Copyright Center to learn more.

Egregious violations of U.S. law (such as child pornography) should be immediately and directly reported to our customer support team.
