About this project
This doctrinal research examines the admissibility of social media evidence (posts, messages, images, metadata) in criminal proceedings. It analyses statutory evidence rules and case law across jurisdictions, focusing on authentication, the hearsay rule, chain of custody for digital exhibits, and the tension between probative value and privacy rights.
