Atrocities from war are being documented on social media. This material can be used as evidence to help prosecute war crimes. But the BBC has spoken to people affected by violent conflict who have seen the major social media companies take down this content.

The increasing use of AI means the companies own policies of allowing graphic content to stay on their platforms if it shows human rights abuses, are being undermined, leading to vital evidence being lost for good.

Here are some of the key moments in the video:
00:00:06 – Intro
00:01:24 - Meet Imad, an eyewitness of war crimes in Aleppo, Syria
00:04:48 – How AI identifies violence
00:06:12 - Meet Ihor, an eyewitness of atrocities in Ukraine
00:09:09 - Mnemonic – archiving organisation based in Berlin
00:10:34 – Meet Rahwa, an archivist from US whose family is in Ethiopia
00:12:27 - What happens to a video when it’s deleted
00:13:29 - What can be done to preserve evidence of war crimes
