Why each option
The collection of potentially actionable, overt, and publicly available information is known as Open-Source Intelligence (OSINT).
Open-source intelligence (OSINT) refers to the collection and analysis of information gathered from publicly available sources, making it overt and potentially actionable for security purposes. This includes information from the internet, media, public data, and more.
"Real intelligence" is not a recognized, distinct intelligence discipline in this context; intelligence is inherently real if it's actionable.
Social intelligence refers to the ability to understand and navigate social situations, not a method of collecting public information.
Human intelligence (HUMINT) involves collecting information through human sources and interaction, which is distinct from publicly available information.
