AI's OSINT tool allow mass analysis of YouTube profiles
An open-source intelligence (OSINT) service, part of the “YouTube Tools” suite by Lolarchiver, can generate detailed profiles on YouTube users based on their comment activity. The tool produces reports in seconds, inferring data like geographic location and political leanings. It simplifies digital profiling, allowing users to deduce information quickly, which would typically require extensive research. Legal experts warn that these tools may violate platform terms and local data protection laws. YouTube Tools likely breaches YouTube’s policies by not adhering to its robots.txt file. The rise of such tools highlights the risks associated with data breaches, as personal information is often exposed through hacks. Cryptocurrency holders face increased risks from physical attacks targeting those with significant crypto assets, reflecting broader privacy concerns in the digital landscape.
