Worth noting that the issue isn't just/necessarily about the use of OSINT. But the fact that government agencies often misclassify data gathered in a public dragnet, with no accountability to how that data impacts public citizens "social scores". We see this in China, of course, but this is also the case in the U.S. From Chicago's Office of Inspector General: https://chicago.suntimes.com/2019/4/11/18355005/unverified-outdated-police-gang-database-lists-134-000-names-watchdog-says https://chicago.suntimes.com/2019/4/11/18355005/unverified-o... > The Chicago Police Department’s “gang database” isn’t so much an effective crime-fighting tool as it is a disorganized hodgepodge of outdated and often unverified information, according to a blistering report released Thursday by the Office of the Inspector General. > In fact, according to the OIG, the “database” label is something of a misnomer as the CPD has collected and stored gang data in more than a dozen places in just the last decade. > “OIG found that CPD has captured, reported, and visualized gang-related data in at least 18 different forms, records, and systems of records in the past 10 years, although CPD was not able to definitively account for all such information in its possession and control,” the 160-page audit reads.
