Online harassment — Pulizija ta' Malta · Malta

Direct answer

Threats, stalking, revenge porn and organised harassment are crimes online exactly as offline. Save everything first — screenshots with the URL, the date and the account name — because the content will disappear once you report it. Report to the platform to get it removed, and to Pulizija ta' Malta — għassa tal-pulizija / 112 (112) to get it prosecuted; with the evidence saved, both can happen the same day. Victim Support Malta / Uffiċċju għall-Appoġġ lill-Vittmi (Pulizija) (2122 8333) supports victims free of charge and helps with the report. For children and teenagers, Kellimni.com / Supportline 179 (179) is the specialised line.

❓ Frequently asked

Intimate images of me were shared

A crime in every EU country. Report to the platform under the intimate-image route (removal within hours) and to the police; specialised takedown services exist through Victim Support Malta / Uffiċċju għall-Appoġġ lill-Vittmi (Pulizija).

The harasser is anonymous

Platforms can be ordered to disclose the identity in a criminal case; the police request it. Your job is the evidence.

It is a child being bullied

Kellimni.com / Supportline 179 and the school. Schools have duties; the child's messages should be saved, not deleted.
