The worker of municipal services continues to clear the streets of the Ukrainian city of Lviv from snow after a nearby Russian drone strike as if nothing had happened.

RT @GeoConfirmed: @Osint613 @MarioLeb79: Yes, that was me.

Does that mean you can’t make mistakes?

It’s actually more disappointing when large accounts make those errors...

You’ve added OSINT to your name, you have hundreds of thousands of followers, and you track wars just like we do.
That comes with responsibility — a responsibility that applies to every “OSINT” account. Your choice of words, your verification process, and your accuracy all matter.

This isn’t about your account specifically — you just happened to be the first one we noticed. So take that as a compliment.

Let’s take a step back and look at the broader “OSINT” community, especially after Elon Musk’s changes. What do we actually see?

The majority of these accounts claim to do OSINT and even include it in their name. But most of them don’t do the work. At best, they’re news aggregators — copying and pasting information without citing sources, rewriting descriptions to grab attention, and shaping opinions based on unverified data. They chase attention, not accuracy. In other words, they’re engagement farmers. These accounts make up most of what’s now labeled as “OSINT.”

Then there’s a second group — at least they add some value. They might collect and organize information into threads, or conduct basic analyses to make the data easier to understand.

Finally, there are the real OSINT accounts.

A definition:
"OSINT is the practice of collecting, analyzing, and interpreting publicly available information from open sources to produce insights for decision-making, threat assessment, and investigations."

The real OSINT accounts go beyond aggregation. They verify locations, identify equipment types, and perform full investigations — turning raw data into actionable, verified insights.

We know where we stand: GeoConfirmed is a verification community of more than 100 volunteers, dedicated to answering factual “where” questions. Does that make us an OSINT account? That’s not for us to decide.

In four years, GeoConfirmed has made seven mistakes — just seven. Each time, we reviewed our verification process, because seven out of more than 60,000 published geolocations is still seven too many. That’s the level of responsibility our admin team has committed to. We guarantee where something happened — not what happened, and not when. And in every one of those seven cases, we deleted our tweets and posted corrections.

How many accounts get fact-based Community Notes but never make corrections? For them, it’s not about the facts. The initial tweet draws attention — and that’s what matters most to them.

So yes, we’re sorry we used your tweet as an example. It wasn’t personal. But it did highlight a much broader problem within the OSINT community.

So the real question is: which of the three groups do you want to be part of?

RT @kromark: 🐎1/4 There are more and more videos of Russian soldiers using horses in war. With @pustota and @legal0ve, we found that one of the commanders behind the creation of a new 'Russian cavalry' is a criminal convicted of a brutal murder, who went to Ukraine directly from prison.
