Cardozo International & Comparative Law Review
Abstract
The note argues that social media platforms should bear legal responsibility for preserving video evidence of international crimes, as such evidence is crucial for prosecuting genocide, war crimes, and crimes against humanity. The author emphasizes that while these platforms effectively remove harmful content, their current practices risk losing critical evidence necessary for justice, necessitating a legal framework to ensure preservation.
