Editorial take
Our qualitative read on the source — tone, framing and trust posture.
Important culturally because it reminds the product that OSINT is not only cyber and tools: it can be public-interest research.
Integration stance
Build, buy or defer. What shape the product integration would take, and why.
Keep as catalog/reference. Do not automate people-search workflows without strict ethical framing.
Ethics and compliance
What to handle carefully, and what must not ship without sign-off.
Avoid enabling stalking, doxxing or private-person profiling. Focus on education, consent, public interest and responsible reporting.
People-related workflows require strict policy review before integration.
