The CIA's Pokemon Go App is Doing What the Patriot Act Can't




The CIA's Pokemon Go App is Doing What the Patriot Act Can't

The maker of the app? Niantic Labs. Never heard of them? That’s because until last year they were an internal start-up of none other than Google, the NSA-linked Big Brother company. Even now Google remains one of Niantic’s major backers. Niantic was founded by John Hanke, who also founded Keyhole, Inc., the mapping company which was created with seed money from In-Q-Tel, the CIA’s venture capital arm, and which was eventually rolled into Google Maps.


Apparently, many pokestops  are clustered around many embassies.
