Social Media Forensics

Social media forensics preserves and reviews account content, messages, posts, metadata, profile activity, and platform-specific records where available.

It is often needed for harassment, impersonation, family-law matters, threats, defamation, and online activity timelines.

Do not delete posts or messages, capture account URLs, preserve screenshots only as a supplement, and avoid alerting other parties when unnecessary.
