Share a current report link alongside an appeal

A screenshot travels easily, but it cannot update itself when the original report changes. A report link gives readers somewhere to check the current information. Where possible, share the authorized source link with a concise message instead of circulating an image without context.

Check the destination first

Open the link yourself. Confirm the name, date, source, and status match the appeal you intend to share. Avoid sending a shortened or unfamiliar link without understanding where it leads.

A link is not proof that the information is correct. The source still matters, and a report may be awaiting review or need a correction.

Give enough context

Add the broad area, relevant event date, and agreed action for someone with information. Keep private details out of the accompanying message. Do not copy an entire sensitive record into a social post simply because the original page is public.

• Current source URL.
• Date you checked it.
• Brief approved context.
• Authorized contact route.

Help the next reader verify it

If you also use a poster, include a readable source address or appropriate link in the caption. A person receiving a forwarded image should be able to find the original without guessing.

After a correction or closure, revisit the places where you shared the appeal and update them through the platform's controls. Do not assume editing the source instantly changes every copy. Links improve the path to current information; they do not eliminate the work of following up.
