I have become jaded with most news, specially with those that are unable (refuse?) to link to the basis of their claims.

"Documents obtained by ...shared with the Guardian"

"Internal documents [...] obtained and shared with the Guardian in 2021"

The only external item I found was NYPD "Social Network Analysis Tools: Impact And Use Policy" from April 2021 which does state how they collect and use social media data.

Similarly described & linked LAPD behavior also lacks evidence.

Anyone have links to these documents?

(I do not want to do this. Why do I have to do the work of investigative journalist? I just want to be able to trust them; alas trust is built over time and broken in seconds. [insert lamenting grumbling])

edit: documents can be redacted.

>>WaitWa+mg
So you want journalists to doxx their confidential sources?

>>hef198+7i
Confidential sources are not credible. They usually have some ulterior motive and often don't tell the truth.

Strong statement. Counter example, rather famous one, was Deep Throat during Watergate, and there arw countless of others.

I rather the see the problem you mention with all the named ones, read pundits and people being interviewed on record...
