Safety First: Digital Security & Privacy

Before you start, protect yourself. Activists in high-risk contexts face surveillance and retaliation. Here's what you need to know:

• Use a separate device or account for sensitive work
• Enable two-factor authentication on all important accounts
• Use unique, strong passwords (with KeePass)
• Avoid linking anonymous and identified activity
• Don't take screenshots—use screen recording instead
• Delete messages and conversations regularly

AI analysis to detect propaganda, escalation indicators and political patterns.

We use NLP models to detect propaganda and micro-patterns of escalation, building scorecards and signals that feed alerts.

Real-World Workflow: From Evidence to International Complaint

1. Gather evidence (screenshots, PDFs, public data, testimonies) and store securely (Nextcloud, Proton Drive, OnionShare).
2. Verify and cross-check data with public sources and international databases (Bellingcat, Lighthouse Reports, OCCRP).
3. Prepare a clear report or visualization and publish on a public dashboard (Datawrapper, Flourish) or send to journalists/NGOs.
4. For serious violations, use FIDH/Amnesty templates and file with ECHR, UN, or national authorities (FIDH, Amnesty).
5. Make the case public: the more visible, the harder to cover up. Use media, briefings, social media, and institutional pressure.

For safety, see the OSINT Safety. All these resources are used by journalists and activists who have achieved trials, resignations, and law changes in the EU.

OSINT & Conflict Monitoring

Tools and methods to track conflicts, misinformation, and escalation risk.

• ACLED — global event data on conflicts and civilian impact
• GDELT — global news & narrative tracking
• Bellingcat — geolocation and verification methodology
• LiveUAmap / DeepStateMap — real-time conflict mapping
• NASA FIRMS & UNOSAT — satellite imagery for fires and attacks
• World Monitor — real-time conflict dashboard, instability scores, UNHCR displacement & live intel

Quick OSINT starter checklist

1. Pick a narrow target: company/contract with a clear timeline or transaction ID.
2. Gather 3 primary sources: news, NGO report, or satellite image. Save permalinks and timestamps.
3. Create a one-page briefing using briefing-en.txt: keep it to one A4 and state the ask.
4. Choose a monitoring template monitoring-sample-en.txt and track developments.
5. Run the OSINT safety checklist (osint-safety-en.txt) before publishing any claims or images.

Outputs: one brief for journalists, a petition, and a monitoring log. Store logs and replies as evidence in a single shared folder for further escalation.
