Because it’s entire purpose is to identify and exploit snitches and potential assets. OSINT is literally just a CIA recruitment tool.
I can say with 100% certainty that anything with the CIA fingerprints all over it is an inherently evil operation. Those in question were literally doing treason on their own government by directly collaborating with a hostile foreign power. The US has done the exact same thing during the cold war.
Of course in that case I support the communist sympathizers in the US but the point is you know the risks when you sell out your country.
I’m not sure if you saw the rest of this thread, but I sincerely recommend against following this guy’s approach to basic communication. If you want to progress your thought or be able to articulate anything from a left-wing perspective without just looking like you have no clue what you’re talking about, there are much better ways to approach it.
The best recent resource that does a deep dive into the US’s hand in open source projects, is Yasha Levine - Surveillance Valley.
Its a longer history on how and why the US developed the internet - as a counter-revolutionary surveillance and information warfare tool to aid the empire, and also how it coopts youthful/enthusiastic tech movements to aid in that goal. The later chapters get into the current phase of this, using open source tools funded by the US national security state to fight its current enemies.
I don’t know what your question is specifically but you should never refuse to read things because it might be anti-US and you have a pro-US bias for some reason.

I would be interested in any evidence you have for this assertion.

Where does this prove that OSINT is literally just a CIA recruitment tool?
That is what the CIA does. This is relevant because this is the shit they are recruiting people to do.
The CIA is inherently evil and was founded with literal Nazis.

All I am asking you to do is substantiate a claim that you made.

Does it answer the question I asked or is it tangential anti-Americanism?
I don’t know what your question is specifically but you should never refuse to read things because it might be anti-US and you have a pro-US bias for some reason.
