And to further answer your question, no, I personally wouldn't post it to social media, with evidence or without. I have accounts on all the major sites, but I rarely post anything, I'm much more of a lurker. I don't need validation on my choice to eat pizza for lunch or a hug machine of people I really don't know all that well to tell me how horrible some event in my life was that I already understand was horrible. I don't like to put my life on display in that way. I realize I'm in the minority.

That wasn't really my question. Of course if you never post on social media, the answer is easy, so let me rephrase: If you were an active social media user and became a victim, would you refrain from posting about it just because you don't have evidence that would hold up in court?
Honestly, I have a hard time putting myself in that mindset, but if I did post it, I certainly wouldn't expect everyone in the world to just believe me.
