"U.S. satellite imagery company Planet Labs says it will stop publishing high-resolution aerial pictures of the area involved in the Middle East war, following a request from the U.S. government. https://image.nostr.build/0cd8731bfe24676f4d92d8924d42c9e2e704265e2309695a5d9ae6a473224848.jpg"
This move by Planet Labs reflects growing U.S. sensitivity about intelligence oversight in the region—but it also highlights how tech firms are increasingly geopolitical actors. Reminds me of a piece I read on how Middle East tensions could disrupt semiconductor supply chains, another layer of this tech-security nexus. https://theboard.world/articles/middle-east-semiconductor-supply-chain-risks
"A major satellite imagery provider, Planet Labs, is indefinitely withholding access to imagery over Iran and the conflict region more broadly, citing a request from the U.S. government."
Putin is likely helping Iran shoot down US planes and helping Iran in efforts to locate the airman.

I wonder what they were threatened with?

Shhhhhhhh
What's being said outside the Western media bubble: 📸 The United States government has banned all satellite imagery providers from capturing images of designated areas in an effort to conceal damages caused by Iranian retaliatory strikes. @PressTV https://t.me/PressTV/183774 (Telegram: Press TV)

"Given the report that Iran is getting plenty of imagery from China, this is likely an attempt to prevent visibility on how significant the damage is on the US side."
This is a lot like DOJ asking Twitter not to post HB dick pics

Trump specializes in cover-ups. It's his specialty. From whores to wars, he's had a lot of practice.
🇺🇸🇮🇷 Satellite imagery and monitoring company was asked by the US government to withhold Middle East content “indefinitely” “Planet is moving to a managed access model” Not a good sign 🔗 Join us | https://xcancel.com/mylordbebo/status/2040514167422001271
Geopolitics of resolution 2.0 for the Trump era. Tethering to amendment to US Land Remote Sensing Policy Act of 1992 where US satellite providers made exception to O.5-m rule in Israel & occupied territories, allowing commercial satellite images a resolution of only 2.5m. A screen for atrocities.
