The #ParadoxOfOpen meets #intelligence tradecraft:

The #open movement have been essential to much of what we love about the #internet. Even the #US #IntelligenceCommunity relies on #OpenSource info.

However, even good intentioned and accurate use of open information can undermine stakeholders of intelligence analysis, sometimes making things worse for *all* stakeholders.

Our dear colleague Anna Mazgal wrote one of the excellent and provocative responses to the #ParadoxofOpen and about Wikimedia's challenges and ambitions. "The Paradox of Growth – Unintended consequences of Open" https://openfuture.eu/paradox-of-open-responses/the-paradox-of-growth-unintended-consequences-of-open/

#ParadoxofOpen is an idea that I have been exploring over the last two years, together with @paulk and the rest of @openfuture team. Paul and I wrote an essay, where we show a paradox: #openness challenges concentrations of power, but sometimes does the opposite - enables them.

We are happy that our idea stirred open advocates to reflect on successes and failures of the open movement. We’ve created an anthology of their essays, called “Paradox of Open: responses”, which we will launch on 30 November.

For the launch, we invited prof. James Boyle from Duke University and Anna Mazgal from Wikimedia Europe (both of them authored essays for our anthology).
