Social media intelligence allows one to collect intelligence gathering from social media sites like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram etc. This type of intelligence gathering is one element of OSINT (Open- Source Intelligence). Open-source intelligence (OSINT) is data collected from publicly available sources to be used in an intelligence context using open-source software / tools or public intelligence tools.
