Ask HN: Someone posted an my passport on Facebook. Anything I can do?

I found out that about a week ago, a real estate company whom I previously was a tennant of, has posted the full front page of my passport including address, dob, passport number and address along with a picture in a private facebook group.

I flagged the post, but it's still up, I submitted a help request to FB's sensitive information page but they denied it, I think maybe because that line was more targeted towards nude selfies being posted for revenge.

Is there anything I can do to get this taken down? I have a feeling FB has some support line hidden somehwwhere but they make it impossible to find anything. Any help would be greatly appreciated as I feel like I'm being set up for identity theft here.
