For OSINT purposes, social networks are defined as generic areas that cater to a wide audience with various interests. Members engage more broadly with each other on these platforms. People from all walks of life use LinkedIn and Snapchat, regardless of their profession or age.

Most people on Tinder are single, and most of the audience on TikTok is young. These are specialty sites with which our mothers are (We hope).

Our goal is to provide APIs for verifying account existence on popular social networks and online communities.
