Lol that’s a great fear mongering title until you remember Google takes pictures of the white house every single day.
True, but being fair to the DPRK, Google hasn’t had the most powerful nation in the world literally blocking almost all trade with them or all the sanctions. Google has been allowed to make mad money and do whatever they want more or less (at least as long as the US gov can still tap into the info), and it really isn’t shocking they have what they have at this point. The DPRK was able to do this basically completely on their own despite everything. Even the US had to start with one satellite at one point. So a “fuck you” to the US is a win for the DPRK no matter how small it is when compared to rich companies.
Google doesn’t launch satallites, they buy images taken from aircraft mostly.
