Social media has radically changed people’s daily lives and, consequently, has significantly influenced the work of private investigators. Online platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok serve as valuable sources of information while also creating new challenges for the profession.
SOCIAL MEDIA AS A RESEARCH TOOL
Posts, photos, and publicly available user information on social networks can provide crucial clues for a case. Detectives use specialized data analysis software to identify suspicious activities.
THE RISKS OF MISINFORMATION
The spread of false information and fake profiles makes investigations more difficult, as it can lead to incorrect conclusions or misdirect an inquiry.
PRIVACY PROTECTION
Although most information is public, private detectives must operate ethically and in accordance with data protection laws, avoiding illegal surveillance practices.
MANAGING DIGITAL FOOTPRINTS
Even deleted data on social media can be recovered through specialized techniques, providing important clues in cases of infidelity, fraud, or missing persons.
THE FUTURE OF PRIVATE INVESTIGATIONS IN THE DIGITAL AGE
Advancements in artificial intelligence and big data are expected to further transform the private detective profession, making social media research an integral part of investigations.
