OSINT stands for "open source intelligence," and it's a thing. Big, CIAish agencies do it all the time. It simply means deriving intelligence from publicly available sources, such as newspapers, speeches, social media, etc. Which is a lot more difficult than might be imagined, since public information is not always, well, intelligent.
Nonetheless.
The best-known and probably most active organization doing OSINT on the web is Bellingcat, available here.
A sensible amount of caution is advised.
