Look for Context Clues → Backgrounds in images, language used, or time zones often reveal location and culture. 3. Archive Everything → Posts can vanish quickly. Always capture screenshots or archive links. 4. Combine with Other OSINT Disciplines → Social media is even more powerful when paired with geolocation, image verification, and breach data. 5. Stay Ethical → Only use publicly available information. Respect privacy and stay within legal limits. ✅ Pro Tip: Even a single username or hashtag can open the door to an entire digital footprint. 💬 What’s your go-to tactic or tool for SOCMINT investigations?
