04opinion

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.

05product

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.

06governance

Ethics and compliance

What to handle carefully, and what must not ship without sign-off.

Ethical notes

Avoid enabling stalking, doxxing or private-person profiling. Focus on education, consent, public interest and responsible reporting.

Compliance notes

People-related workflows require strict policy review before integration.
