“If verified as authentic, this content could provide the U.S. government and international human rights investigators with a trove of evidence that would help to substantiate allegations of war crimes and other atrocities committed by Russian forces against the people of Ukraine,” the letter stated., the CEO of Facebook’s parent company Meta, writers cited past events that used social media content to prosecute international war criminals.
