SOCIALEVIDENCE.AU
**SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA** – Social Evidence today launched a forensic archival platform purpose-built for preserving social media content that subjects routinely delete once they know someone is watching.
Available now at [socialevidence.au](https://socialevidence.au), the platform archives entire TikTok and Instagram accounts – every video, photo, reel, story, comment thread, caption, hashtag, and engagement metric – with timestamped screenshots and full metadata. Once archived, the content is preserved in the cloud regardless of whether the original account deletes posts, goes private, or disappears entirely.
### Why Journalists Need This
Every investigative reporter has lost a source’s social media trail. A politician scrubs their Instagram before a story drops. A public figure deletes TikTok videos that contradict their public statements. A company’s social media manager quietly removes posts after a whistleblower tips you off.
Screenshots are fragile – easily challenged as fabricated, missing context, and lacking metadata. Social Evidence captures the full forensic picture:
– **Complete account snapshots** – Every post, reel, story, and comment thread archived with original timestamps, engagement metrics, and metadata
– **AI transcription** – Automatic speech-to-text for every video and reel, making spoken content searchable for the first time
– **Threaded comments** – Full comment chains including replies, usernames, and timestamps – not just top-level
– **Forensic screenshots** – Browser-captured, timestamped screenshots of every profile page and individual post
### Ask Your Archive a Question
The platform’s AI search engine reads every transcript, caption, comment, and hashtag across an archived account and answers plain-English questions with cited evidence.
Ask *”Did this politician discuss property donations?”* or *”Show me posts where they contradict their public testimony”* – and get answers linked directly to the specific posts, with one click to view the matched evidence.
For reporters working through hundreds of posts from a subject’s account, this turns days of manual review into seconds.
### How It Works
1. **Add an account** – Enter any public TikTok or Instagram username
2. **Archive runs automatically** – Videos, photos, stories, comments, captions, and screenshots are captured and stored in the cloud
3. **AI transcribes all video content** – Spoken words become searchable text
4. **Search and analyse** – Filter by date, type, keywords, or ask the AI
5. **Share securely** – Generate a time-limited link for editors, producers, or legal review – no login required for recipients
Archives can be updated on demand to capture new posts. All evidence is stored with AES-256 encryption at rest and TLS 1.3 in transit.
### Use Cases for Newsrooms
– **Pre-publication preservation** – Archive a subject’s social media before they know you’re investigating, ensuring nothing disappears between tip-off and publication
– **Source verification** – Confirm that social media posts referenced by sources actually existed, with full metadata and timestamps
– **Pattern analysis** – Use AI to surface themes, contradictions, or relevant content across hundreds of posts without manual review
– **Accountability journalism** – Track what public figures post and delete, with forensic proof of original publication
– **Secure sharing** – Share archived evidence with editors and legal teams via expiring links – no accounts, no passwords, no forwarded files
### Pricing and Access
Social Evidence is available now at [socialevidence.au](https://socialevidence.au). Pricing is **$49 AUD per account** for 30-day access, with optional monthly auto-renewal. A live interactive demo is available on the platform without payment.
