Watchlist

The Watchlist allows you to target Twitter users to see how their posts may be handled by (OSINT) gathering systems.

Up to 5 handles can be added to an agent's watchlist.

Tweets from targeted users are searched daily, and will be added to the results as they become available. Suggestions for handles to add include:

• Yourself
• Friends
• Public figures

Watchlist results can be sorted by handle name.

The metadata for each targeted post contains evaluations from two machine learning classifiers.

You have the option to evaluate the post yourself.

Evaluation Tips:

• Intelligence agencies err on the side of caution – their goal is to share all the data, and find the needle in the haystack.
• Posts referencing people or groups who are known targets (e.g., Edward Snowden, Julian Assange, Anonymous) would warrant close scrutiny by an agent.
• Intelligence agencies are opposed to the use of encryption, intelligence leaks, open access to information, and other activities that could cost them their informational advantage. Posts that are supportive of these subjects would scrutinized.
• Sarcasm, parody, or references tend to not be recognized by intelligence agents, so this is not something they tend to worry about.

Providing evaluations and feedback helps to improve the classifiers' predictions.
