Community chats are chats created specifically for Facebook groups. Note that they are not available to all groups (e.g. commerce groups) or people at this time.
If you believe that a community chat or content sent in a community chat doesn't follow our Community Standards or the group rules, you can report it to the group admins. You can also report to Facebook.
The group admin(s) will receive a notification that there's something to review. Groups won't be disabled just because members report a community chat or community chat content to admins or to Facebook. However, Facebook may disable a group if there are sufficient multiple admin and moderator violations, which includes if an admin creates a community chat or content in a community chat that violates our Community Standards.
