OSINT Tools: Social Media

Privacy – this is when everyone knows who you are, but does not know exactly what you are doing now.
Anonymity – this is when no one knows who you are, but they see your actions.

There has been an increase in the power of open data intelligence tools lately, especially based on the kind of data that people (recklessly) voluntarily share on social media and messengers.

Here’s an overview of free and affordable social media analytics tools to help you understand how vulnerable you are in today’s world.
