Introduction to Open-source investigation techniques
Event Information
About this Event
Find out more about the use of new open-source investigation (OSINT) techniques in the context of human rights abuses. Find out what it is and how it can be used to protect and promote human rights. Sources of OSINT include social media feeds and free-to-access satellite imagery like google earth.
And you can see how Amnesty International uses such information and draws on a Digital Vertification Corp of volunteers here https://citizenevidence.org/2016/10/06/embarking-on-the-path-of-verification
Ali Cole (pictured) and her students will be presenting on their learnings about how individuals can now conduct their own documentation, advocacy, and strategic engagement through the use of this technology.
