@SheDrivesMobility Wie heißt es doch so schön: Wenn es nichts kostet, bist du das Produkt. – Oder produzierst es halt direkt selbst.
-
@SheDrivesMobility and I was wondering why the scans had recently disappeared from the game…
-
Nicht wirklich überraschend. Eher naheliegend.

@SheDrivesMobility A kid next door plays Pokémon so I'm getting a wire-netting anti-drone dome built over our house just in case. The contractors start tomorrow. One can never be too sure.

@SheDrivesMobility Das war das, was die Bedenkenträger damals im Big Data Hype mit " wir wissen nicht, wer in Zukunft was mit den Daten machen wollen wird" meinten.
Seufz.
Wenn wir wenigstens draus lernen würden ...
-
@SheDrivesMobility And this is why (offline) Tetris is the only game you should ever play.
-
@SheDrivesMobility Es war schon bei Ingress kein Geheimnis dass die das nicht aus reiner Selbstlosigkeit machen sondern obviously um sehr detaillierte Daten über die ganze Welt zu sammeln, bei Pokemon Go erst recht.
@moreentropy danke, das ist ein guter Kommentar, der zeigt, dass du mehr weißt als ich, aber nichts zum Thema an sich beiträgt.

@_RyekDarkener_ dann ist ja gut.

@SheDrivesMobility I always wondered what they were doing with this data. This is worse than I could have imagined.
-
@moreentropy danke, das ist ein guter Kommentar, der zeigt, dass du mehr weißt als ich, aber nichts zum Thema an sich beiträgt.
@SheDrivesMobility wow. Sorry, die Diskussion ist so alt wie Pokemon Go.

@SheDrivesMobility wow. Sorry, die Diskussion ist so alt wie Pokemon Go.
@moreentropy danke erneut.

@SheDrivesMobility Why I hate the military is that they end up using stuff people made for their "defense". Then some of them try to own the rights to things. Even if it was originally for public or kids.
-
@SheDrivesMobility and where do we think that map that includes the US will be used? and against whom?
my bet is waging war against Americans on American soil, aka treason by #18USCs2381

When I saw clips of mobs of youngsters running rampant through public and non-public spaces with cellphones held out in front of them recording as they went, my initial thought was some kind of ulterior 'mapping' was going on. Like, this is how they're augmenting Google Maps and "Street View" with data they can't capture from vans driving around public streets.
After all, the concept of #PokémonGo originated from the Google Maps: Pokémon Challenge, an April Fools' Day project released by Google Maps on April 1, 2014, that was created by Google engineer Tatsuo Nomura.
But it didn't occur to me until now, of course this dataset would be something quite valuable for the police and military to co-opt.

@SheDrivesMobility We're making games for kids into murderbots. We're like a cosmic horror species.

@boksy This was the original point of Ingress (Niantic's first game). They never charged anyone a penny for it while they were part of Google, and it was well known that you were "paying" for the game by collecting data for Google Maps as you played.

@SheDrivesMobility@norden.social So did Captcha for that matter.

just btw; it was a 404 media research:
