This class is by far the most helpful social media/OSINT class I have taken. After being fully immersed in social media and OSINT searches for the last year I wasn’t sure how much more I could learn. I can honestly say that over 80% of the course contained new resources that I will use daily. 10 out of 10 recommend this course if you are new to using social media/OSINT for investigations and if you have experience.
