Screenshots can be easily manipulated, so they shouldn't be the only form of evidence.

I’m a bit confused; I thought screenshots were important, but I also learned that they can be manipulated, so maybe they shouldn't be the only evidence relied upon.

I think we practiced a similar question, and I recall that screenshots can be useful but might not always be reliable on their own.

I remember discussing the importance of corroborating evidence, so I'm not sure if screenshots alone can be considered primary evidence.

I'm pretty confident this is false. There are other forms of digital evidence that can be just as reliable, if not more so, than screenshots.
