Government need to use open source intelligence

Internet users generally post online comments on social media and forums, which represent people's opinions and judgments in real life. With the huge amount of speech on the Internet, the low barriers to publishing, and the speed of information dissemination, the power of public opinion is driving profound changes in the country's ideology and social existence.

Relevant government departments should pay attention to the evaluations, focus, appeals, criticisms, complaints and exposures contained in these open source information, and understand the real thoughts and demands of the public. Security services in particular can use this information in their global counter-terrorism efforts.

Government need to obtain open source intelligence from social media

With the rapid development of technology, the content and scope of intelligence have been greatly different from before. Only relying on traditional secret intelligence can no longer meet our current needs. We need both traditional secret intelligence and more open source intelligence, exploring a wide application space for intelligence.

Open source intelligence(OSINT) can be applied to many fields and organizations, including the marketing and research and development departments of some private companies, as well as the military, security and law enforcement departments of the government.

In terms of government departments, there are mainly open source counterintelligence work, situational assessments of regional human geography and security risks through OSINT, prevention of proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, transnational humanitarian assistance, anti-terrorism, anti-fraud, network security and combating networks crime, combating human trafficking crimes, etc.

In the past, to collect intelligence and find out the identity or organization of the target person, basically we could only rely on active reconnaissance. But now we can use face recognition to import the face into the database, cross-contrast it with the photo information of the target person monitored from Knowlesys Intelligence System on social media, and quickly identify his identity. The customs department can also use face recognition to quickly determine whether the entry personnel have a criminal record and whether they will pose a threat to national security.
