ICYMI: on Twitter, an OSINTer ('Vleckie') is being blamed for a US airstrike in Yemen that killed 8 civilians.
in a thread, she'd marked a group of houses as an underground bunker — from satellite imagery alone. those houses (not a bunker) were subject to a US airstrike. 8 innocent people dead.

speculatory reporting of this type is plainly negligent.
it's like any other reporting: if you're not sure of something, don't publish it!
