Frequently asked
Questions, answered.
Common questions about access eligibility, evidence handling, and how Echo differs from live OSINT tools.
- Who can access Echo Intelligence?
- Echo is restricted to verified government and law enforcement agencies, intelligence and counter-terrorism units, military and defense organizations, and government cyber and SOC teams. Commercial brand-monitoring and marketing requests are declined.
- Does Echo include deleted social media content?
- Yes. Echo continuously captures content from TikTok, YouTube, Instagram, and X, so the pre-deletion state of removed videos, suspended accounts, and purged comment threads is preserved in the archive.
- How is Echo different from live OSINT tools?
- Live OSINT tools query what platforms currently allow to be visible. Echo queries the historical archive — including content that has since been removed by the platform, the user, or takedown actions. The investigative datasets are structurally different.
- Is Echo's output suitable for court use?
- Yes. Echo produces sealed evidence packages with cryptographic integrity, original capture timestamps, and full chain-of-custody documentation, structured for direct submission and expert testimony.
- Which platforms does Echo cover?
- Echo covers YouTube (EchoTube), TikTok (EchoTok), Instagram (EchoGram), and X / Twitter (EchoX) at population scale, with historical coverage spanning years of activity on each platform.
- Does using Echo leave an operational footprint on the target platforms?
- No. Echo queries an internal archive, not the live platforms. There are no live API calls, no platform-side log entries, and no operational footprint visible to the platforms or to monitored accounts.
- How does Echo handle persona resolution?
- Echo's identity layer correlates accounts across platforms using behavioral fingerprinting, network adjacency, and temporal handoff patterns — not just visible metadata. The same actor across alt accounts and platforms can be resolved even when no visible identifier is shared.
- How long does verification take?
- The vetting team responds within 24 business hours of an evaluation request. Verification checks domain and credential signals against agency registries before any access is issued.
