Description
This video examines how private open‑source intelligence (OSINT) companies are becoming influential actors in European counter‑terrorism. Elena Martynova explains how firms like Maltego, DarkOwl, and TadaWeb aggregate social media data, detect terrorist content, and identify emerging radicalisation narratives, shaping security governance alongside public institutions. Using corporate materials and interviews, the research shows why these companies are increasingly embedded in EU counter‑terrorism structures, and highlights the strengths, limitations, and risks of relying on private OSINT providers when addressing threats from extremist and terrorist actors responsible for severe harm and human rights violations.
