Abstract

This article examines the authentication of social media evidence in Canadian courts, focusing on the 2021 R v Aslami decision. It discusses the challenges of applying the Canada Evidence Act (CEA) and common law to rapidly evolving digital platforms. This article explores Lisa Silver’s argument for a rigorous judicial approach, advocating for expert voir dire in cases involving social media evidence. By analyzing Aslami, this article assesses whether the court’s approach aligns with Silver’s recommendations and considers the need for an adaptable legal framework as new types of digital evidence emerge.

社交媒体证据的一线希望

本文考察了加拿大法院的社交媒体证据的真实性，重点是2021年R诉Aslami案的判决。它讨论了将加拿大证据法（CEA）和普通法应用于快速发展的数字平台所面临的挑战。本文探讨了丽莎·西尔弗（Lisa Silver）关于严格司法方法的观点，主张在涉及社交媒体证据的案件中进行专家口头审查。通过分析阿斯拉米案，本文评估了法院的做法是否与西尔弗的建议一致，并考虑到随着新型数字证据的出现，需要一个适应性强的法律框架。
