>he's wrong It's a bit surreal that the 3rd entry down in the more "more tweets" suggestions (for me*)for that link is as follows: Credit it where it's due: Hyundai have knocked it out of the ballpark with the Potato Storage Capacity (PSC) on the Ioniq 5 Good job there Twitter, really hit the nail on the head trying to surface other relevant tweets. *And that's me not logged in, with no Twitter account at all, cookies cache etc. cleared.

  OSINT should be imagery and/or audio with a place and time, speculation should be limited and reasoned. Here are some accounts doing that instead: https://twitter.com/RALee85 https://twitter.com/RALee85 https://twitter.com/IAPonomarenko https://twitter.com/IAPonomarenko https://twitter.com/GirkinGirkin https://twitter.com/GirkinGirkin

    I agree that's a good ideal, but it doesn't mean that everything else isn't OSINT, or that it should be subject to algorithmic suppression as misinformation.

      Spreading unwarranted panic is dangerous misinformation. One should be combatted the other encouraged.

        Also agreed, but I think there's a difference between a pessimistic opinion (alarmist) and one that will induce panic. I'm not going to try and classify this particular Twitter use in either category though-- I don't have the knowledge of this situation required for that-- so my comment is intended in the general sense, not this user.
