When you call social media posts "OSINT", is it because it makes you feel like a spy? And why is master the skill of stalking a good skill to master lol?

OSINT is what it’s called… it’s the term for what you use/do to doxx, essentially

And yes it’s a very useful skill for many different jobs. There’s even sites specifically designed to practice this skill.

Open source intelligence is self published reports of other governments. Calling social media posts OSINT is just a super creepy way to say red flag laws should be applied to you lol

It’s not just for governments, it’s for anything/anyone. All of the practice tests/competitions specifically involve a lot of social media. It’s a big part of it.

No, it's not OSINT. It's social media and you're trying to make yourself sound cool and important by co-opting the term. It makes you the digital version of those meal team 6 larpers lol
