One might be able to make a bit of a mystery for a Seraph out of conflicting statements recorded at different times which both remain in the profile.
And of course, Yves' Library could have every last version of someone's social media profile, organized by date, time, and location. "All right, that's John Anderson's Facebook information and posting status as of 3:57 p.m. January 6, 2013 ..."

More than ever, it becomes important to know exactly what you're looking for.
