Hiya

There is a merchant who is using their social media to post harmful, misogynistic views along with sexually violent posts. They then link directly to their shopify store. Is this in breach of guidelines and how is the best way to report?
It’s an art store, so some of the art contains the violence.

Hi @waywardotter90

Maybe try to report at https://www.shopify.com/legal/tools/report-an-issue/report-a-merchant

under “Threat of violence”.
