Extremists thought they were hidden. They were wrong. @CBC journalists used OSINT Industries to expose neo-Nazi networks across North America, from encrypted channels to real identities. 🙌 Special thanks to @Eric_Szeto, @ivan_Angelovski, Christian Paas-Lang, @GrantRants Read the full investigation: cbc.ca/news/canada/wh…
