Open-source intelligence (OSINT) is the collection and analysis of data gathered from open sources (covert sources and publicly available information such as websites, social media, news articles, and other publicly accessible data) to produce actionable intelligence. OSINT is primarily used in national security, law enforcement, and business intelligence but also is used by various organizations and individuals to gather insights, monitor trends, assess risks, and make informed decisions.[1][2]

| John Perry Barlow | “The entity I envision would be small, highly networked, and generally visible. It would be open to information from all available sources and would classify only information that arrived classified. It would rely heavily on the Internet, public media, the academic press, and an informal worldwide network of volunteers--a kind of global Neighborhood Watch--that would submit on-the-ground reports.
It would use off-the-shelf technology, and use it less for gathering data than for collating and communicating them. Being off-the-shelf, it could deploy tools while they were still state-of-the-art. I imagine this entity staffed initially with librarians, journalists, linguists, scientists, technologists, philosophers, sociologists, cultural historians, theologians, economists, philosophers, and artists-a lot like the original CIA, the OSS, under "Wild Bill" Donovan. Its budget would be under the direct authority of the President, acting through the National Security Adviser. Congressional oversight would reside in the committees on science and technology (and not under the congressional Joint Committee on Intelligence).” | John Perry Barlow | 2002 |
