Expert, generous, inspiring - this crew embodied everything that's best about, insofar as it exists, the OSINT community. OSINT Curious itself will be sorely missed, but I've no doubt everyone involved will continue to do great things. Thanks for all you've done

[The OSINT Curious Project @OsintCurious]

All good things come to an end, and OSINT Curious is no exception. Our final blog post is now live.

Make sure to also join us for our final webcast on March 4, 16:00CET (10am EST), where we'll look back at the last 4 years, and talk about this decision.

To tackle the latest change of code of Google Images, we have just published a new version (0.75.9) of our fake news debunker (by @InVID_EU, @WeVerify & @veraai_eu) to preserve the UX in image and video similarity search.

#osint opportunity for #YouTube which just introduced "handles" for channels to make it easier (for internet sleuths) to investigate. Handles are unique to channels and will be how people mention others in comments, community posts etc. @Sector035 https://t.co/wUx2BXVEep

2/2 Now, there's no need. Lens brings up the correct identification as its top result.
I'm not altogether happy about how standard reverse image search seems to be getting choked off, but these capabilities are some consolation

[OSINTessentials (@osintessentials.bsky.social) @OSINTessentials]

1/2 Interesting example of how Google Lens is becoming more powerful. This thread explained how to use image-editing techniques to make the image more reverse search-friendly

1/4 QUICK TIP: Sometimes you may see what looks like an important detail, but you don't recognise it, and the angle of view makes it difficult for reverse image search. All is not lost - take for example this logo on the side of a fighter jet…
