...this takes me down a rabbit hole to 2010. We once tried to establish "Public Intelligence" [PubInt] as it was a term we used since 2003 in 2010 but it only caught on with some businesses. The then definition was - to differenciate it from OSINT - bound to the use of the information in a "civic" context - here you got them for fun and giggles: 2003: Public intelligence refers to sources of information freely available to the individual to be the basis for it's role as a responsible and critical citizen as part of a group or state. Public Intelligence is associated with the application of Open source intelligence (OSInt) to empower the public in its dealings with all forms of organization, and most especially government. It is an applied variant of Collective intelligence. It was inspired by the 1978 Colby book: "Intelligence must accept the end of its special status in the American government, and take on the task of informing the public of its nature and its activities as any other department or agency. . . . By far the most effective manner of accomplishing the task . . . is by letting the public benefit directly from the products of intelligence, its information and assessments. " --former DCI William Colby, Honorable Men: My Life in the CIA, Simon & Schuster, 1978, pp. 459-60.
