Social media evidence is powerful but fragile — a post can be edited or deleted in seconds, and a screenshot alone rarely survives a courtroom challenge. Social media forensics captures the content properly, proves it is authentic, and preserves it so it holds up.
Why isn’t a screenshot enough?
- Screenshots are easy to fake and carry no verifiable metadata
- Forensic capture records the live URL, timestamps, and account IDs
- Hashing locks the captured evidence so any later change is detectable
- Full-page and source capture preserves context, comments, and reactions
- Documentation shows exactly how and when each item was collected
Can you find out who is behind a fake account?
Frequently, yes. We build attribution by correlating posting times, writing style, reused images and handles, linked or tagged accounts, and technical artifacts across platforms. Where the case supports it, formal legal process to the platform can connect an account to a real identity. ROHOVOT operates under a licensed California investigator (California BSIS PI License No. 190161) and a court-qualified computer-forensics expert witness.
Will social media evidence hold up in court?
Yes — when it is captured lawfully, authenticated, and preserved with an unbroken chain of custody. California courts require a foundation showing that social media content is what it claims to be, and our capture and metadata analysis provide exactly that.
