In the Readwrite newsletter, Jan stresses that "that technical frustration is secondary to the much bigger issue: that there still appears to be no meaningful accountability for what was done to girls and young women"

Was macht eigentlich @darcdataresearch.bsky.social? Die Rechercheagentur, die aus unserem Förderprojekt Secure Research Hub hervorgegangen ist, hat für ZDF frontal und @spiegel.de Ende Dezember ein Leak mit E-Mails des Sexualstraftäters Epstein durchsuchbar gemacht. 🔗 Zum Artikel: t1p.de/t5m7f

"Hätte ganz anders ausgehen können" - auch deutsche Frauen gerieten in Jeffrey Epsteins Visier

Erstmals berichten zwei Deutsche über ihre Begegnung mit Sexualstraftäter Epstein. Die Schwestern entgingen Rekrutierungsversuchen wohl nur knapp.

Geocoded Addresses in OpenAleph: A New Way to Spot Connections – OpenAleph, the versatile open source search platform by the Data and Research Center – DARC, originally started by OCCRP as Aleph

The new geocoding feature in OpenAleph makes addresses a whole lot more interesting.

Data and Research Center @dataresearchcenter.bsky.social · 25/06/2025

With geocoded addresses now built into OpenAleph, you can map entities, spot who shares an address, explore what’s nearby, and uncover links that aren’t immediately obvious. A new lens for mapping networks, shell companies, and proximity-based connections.

🚨 New in OpenAleph: Geocoded Addresses Investigators often look for links between names, companies, or IDs, but geography tells its own story, and sometimes it's the missing piece.
