People like to talk. That’s what we do, even when we know it’s not the
best thing to do. Gossip, spreading rumours, bragging — if something
happens, you know someone will talk about it — someone always cracks.

Law enforcement officials, lawyers and investigators have always known
this. That’s why social media is a godsend; it makes it easier for
people to spill the beans and there’s a record of it. Whether it’s for
actual online activities, or for information about offline events,
social media offers a whole new investigative tool.

According to 2014 Lexis Nexis Study (Law Enforcement’s Usage of Social
Media for Investigations
<https://www.lexisnexis.com/risk/insights/law-enforcement-social-media-infographic.aspx>),
already 86% of investigators are using social media 2-3 times per month
in the course of their duties. Using social media helps solve crimes
quicker (76% of respondents thought so) and can even prevent crime (67%
say it helps in anticipating crime).

For all the power of social media investigation, it’s still not
institutionalized as a formal procedure. Investigators, in many cases,
can’t access social media from the workplace. There are few formal
training procedures in place. The top brass have not come around and
give it their full support. And, perhaps worst of all, there is no
system and process to properly collect and preserve the evidence.


      Collecting Social Media Evidence

How do investigators collect and preserve social media evidence? How do
they ensure the chain of custody is unimpeachable? How can they
authenticate the evidence so that Courts will accept it without
question? After all, we all know that digital information is easy to
create, and thus easy to fake or alter.

Up to now, it seems there has been a hodgepodge of different techniques,
with different investigators coming up with their own potential
solution. A Screenshot or print screen is just a first step. Beyond
that, solid social media evidence requires:

  * Saving the Metadata,
  * Saving the source code,
  * Adding a timestamp,
  * Authenticating with an E-Signature,
  * Creating in multiple formats,
  * Manually exporting to eDiscovery tool

For this multistep process, the investigator needs multiple programs.
What a hassle!

Luckily, just as technology is at the start of the problem, technology
can also offer a cure.

WebPreserver

WebPreserver is an innovative, archiving resource for litigators, legal
enforcement officials and digital forensic experts. With the
installation of a simple plugin you can capture snapshots of content
from websites, blogs and social media. Keep these snapshots in our cloud
or download when you need them. All content is authenticated for use as
evidence in litigation by a secure time stamp and e-signature.

*How WebPreserver can be of use to your firm.*

WebPreserver provides a tool for both sides of litigation to preserve
evidence to support and protect (future or current) cases and to archive
content in the likelihood of edits, tampering or deletion.

This technology takes the onerous, costly responsibility out of
monitoring and social media content as part of eDiscovery proceedings,
whilst also enabling you with the additional ability to store, organize
and share files securely with clients and colleagues.
