Abstract
With new protocols emerging to regulate the field of open-source investigation, this article critiques their widespread deference to the requirements of legal processes that exclude alternate horizons of justice and accountability. Instead, we propose tactics to counter such epistemic injustice, aimed at fostering pluralistic, decentralised, and solidarity-based OSI practices beyond legal constraints.
