After the discussion in #data-science-and-engineering, I decided to create this post to continue the discussion. I think there is value in having this discussion here, especially since the OSINT-adjacent community will have a rather unique perspective on the challenges posed by recent developments and potential mitigation strategies. There seems to be strong disagreement about what exactly those challenges even are and where mitigation strategies should be applied (e.g. legal or technological).

Not 100% sure how this works, but let's talk 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️ and OSINT 💜
