00:07 The best cause of action and the best course of action is to treat almost everything like it can

00:11 and will always most likely be used against you. There's instances where your social media posts,

00:17 your statuses that you post, tweets or X posts now, anything that you generally,

00:24 any type of communications, especially written, sometimes even verbal now because everything can

00:28 be recorded can and more than likely will be used against you in court whether that be

00:37 recording or posting certain things if you're claiming such and such never happened but behind
