Questions about Social Media Monitoring
Does Authex report the account to the platform?
No. Authex records the account and posts with evidence and prepares a draft for the platform's intellectual property or impersonation form. The right holder or their lawyer files it.
What if a removed account comes back under a new name?
Username history and image matching let later scans notice the same account returning under a new name.
Are messaging apps scanned?
No. Social media monitoring covers the nine platforms listed above.
