Master the art of eDiscovery in the digital age, uncovering crucial evidence hidden within social media and collaborative apps.
The nature and volume of social media data present a variety of eDiscovery challenges both legal and technical. Sites such as Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTube and TikTok have evolved into interactive digital gathering spaces for people to meet and communicate in real-time or near-real time. Cloud and collaboration apps, such as Teams, Slack and Google Suite, add new, complicated layers to the discovery process.
All of those platforms have varying levels of privacy and security policies. What’s more, due to their complexity and diversity, they produce far more electronically stored information (ESI) than do standard business applications. As these tools become more complex, users are gaining more and more ways to engage with others and create data that may be important to your case.
This comprehensive webinar will provide guidance for drafting and responding to discovery requests for personally identifiable information (PII) and social media and collaborative technologies, such as Teams, Slack or Google Suite.
