Whether a client is pursuing justice in court or defending themselves against false allegations, being able to show the personal and professional effects of online abuse, to a judge and/or jury can be challenging. Many in positions of authority are older people, perhaps unfamiliar with the current reality that online perception equals offline perception and a person who is being harassed, defamed, and abused online, suffers “real world” consequences.

Being able to illustrate the sheer level of abuse and it’s effects can often be achieved through visual representation. It may be difficult for a jury to conceptualize 14,000 harassing posts or threats metered out by an extortionist or stalker. But a judge in his/her 60’s in New York City would be able to visualize that those 14,000 posts equal 16 old “NY Yellow Pages.” A jury would be able to understand the sheer volume of abuse when compared to 7 copies of Black’s law Dictionary (roughly 2000 pages each) which would stack 21 inches high. Creating content that assists in making online abuse relatable to the offline world, in legal battles is an important aspect of achieving justice.

In addition to helping litigators create a visual strategy for the courtroom, we also provide complete cataloging of online harassment posts, audio, and video, to ensure that litigators have a full accounting of the abuse as well as easily to reference content, without having to maintain the harassment online. We can catalog abuse and then work with platforms to remove it, without compromising a clients ability to prove it’s existence.
