Google Plus - Reporting a Post

If we see any violation on Google+ which is against the policies, we can immediately report it. Violation may include bullying, threatening, hate speech, sharing someone’s photos or videos without their permission, spam, illegal or violent content, etc.,

We can take a screenshot of the violation and send it to the local law enforcement. Google takes an immediate action if the content or the picture violates their policies. They will either remove the entire content, page, or disable the activity of the user. If anyone bothers us on Google+, then there is an option to block the users or delete them from our circles.
