I don't know that advertising the existence of this team, or their methods, is a good idea.
Things like this made the news several times when Interpol (or was it Europol?) showed pictures on social media and asked if anyone could turn them into information (things like "in which country is this backpack sold").
When international law enforcement agencies are already openly crowdsourcing image details, an article about a group doing background detail analysis isn't much of a revelation.
You're right. I forgot about that interpol(?) Crowd sourcing.
