A post can be edited or deleted within minutes, and a screenshot is easy to fake, so even a genuine one gets doubted. Students end up keeping evidence in a camera roll, retelling the story to everyone who asks, and reporting with material the school can't easily check.
Escapture gives each side what it needs:
- Students capture a Facebook post or Messenger conversation with the Escapture Chrome extension. Before saving, the extension checks whether the page was edited in the browser and refuses to capture if it was. The capture is saved as a frozen, script-free copy in the student's private vault, with a SHA-256 hash and a capture time recorded by the server.
- The student stays in control. Nothing reaches the school until the student escalates a case. They choose what goes in it, who helps build it, and when to send it.
- Reviewers (for example, a student affairs office) get an organized case: a title, a description, and evidence they can open, each item labelled Captured with tamper checks, with its hash and capture time. They review the case, add the other side's evidence when it arrives, and record how the case ended.
Escapture supports the university's own process and doesn't replace it. It doesn't decide who is right.
