Our events program for the Spring 2025 is ready!

Please see the poster below for details.

En kat😼, en flynørd✈️ og en veteran🪖 går ind på en bar – og taler om krig, satellitbilleder📡 og missiltyper🚀. Bag baren står en krabbe🦀 og en journalist📝 og fniser af et meme om ukrainske droner.

Forsamlingen er broget, men de har alle det tilfælles, at de bruger en stor del af deres tid på at skrive om internationale konflikter på Twitter/X.

I de senere år har der nemlig udviklet sig et ganske aktivt samfund af civile open source-efterretningsanalytikere (OSINT) på nettet, med farverige profiler og kaldenavne.

I en ny Lab Report undersøger vi hvem de mest prominente OSINT-konti på Twitter/X er i relation til krigen i Ukraine. Vi afdækker også måden de arbejder på og opstiller 3 typer.

Rapporten (20 sider) kan hentes lige her.

Rapportens førsteforfatter Nicklas Krarup kan kontaktes på nicklaskl@live.dk
