Pokemon Go = CIA Distributed Intelligence Network?

- Offers incentives for you to go to certain places
- Can access your GPS and camera

If I ran the CIA, I'd fund this game too.

Imagine you get word that the Russian embassy in some country just updated their security hardware, or some power plant just got a new fence and guard post. Well, you throw down a rare Pikachu next to that building, and 20 kids show up with GPS enabled smartphones. Suddenly the CIA has an updated photo map of the entire area, and the lone security guard standing outside can't do shit before they all run off to catch the next Pokemon.

Post your face when the CIA is farming out spy work to unwitting gamers.

Oh no cia is watching me pick my nose while sitting on the toilet.

If you're outside most of the time, all the CIA sees is sidewalks, trees, buildings so why would they waste their time??

It's certainly possible. As much as I'd hate to admit that the bat shit insane Alex Jones might be right yet again, it definitely looks that way.

- Offers convenient and free web search
- Can access all your search history and track what websites you go to with ads

If I ran the CIA, I'd fund Google too. (they did)

How does the pokemon placement work? Is it just randomly generated or not?

It's random, but uses map data to try to place them in public places. It would be trivial to inject a pokemon in a desired place, though, since it all happens server side.

Did you even read OP's post? He's not saying it's to spy on regular people. He's saying that it could be used to have the civilian population take pictures of sensitive locations by placing pokemon there

>bat shit Alex Jones is right
What does it say about the state of our world if the truth seems bat shit insane to us

If the CIA wanted to see sensitive locations of communities across the world, I'm sure they wouldn't need to rely on a Japanese pokemon game. user pls, they are more sophisticated than that.

Infowars? Pretty much means that it isn't true then.
Case closed, guys.

Do players share the same map data? If one guy sees a pokemon by a tree would another guy down the street see that pokemon too?

What's the rarest pokemon seen so far?

>Case closed, goyims.

So they would get some public information that anyone could walk up to and look at. who cares?

>take pictures of sensitive locations
>with a cell phone
>from a public location that anyone could stand at
So why use pokemon? The "spy" can just take the picture with his camera without there ever needing to be a pokemon placed 150ft nearby.

They can already ger all that without the app

>Case closed, stupid americans

>Case closed, guys.

Exgellend :DD
Thank you greatest ally

>be too lazy to read what allowances you're giving to a program
>give the CIA legal access to all of your emails, contacts, personal information which can be used against you

=Why spend millions of dollars on a game when some shitter with a pair of binoculars could do better?

If one person sees a Pikachu, everyone sees the Pikachu. It can be caught by everyone, too, so it's not first come first serve. Just about every pokemon has been found, but people will definitely flock to the rare ones. If a Lapras is placed in the middle of a busy area, you can potentially expect a hundred people to flock there.

CIA? No. Google? Absolutely. They not only get location data but users' photographs when capturing pokemon in AR mode. That way they can map areas where those Google cars can't go (parks, interiors of buildings, etc.).

I guess Pokemon Go is better and cheaper than billion dollar spy satellites.

Cool. What sort of landmarks are on the game map? Pokemon, and then Pokestops and Gyms? Is there anyway to explore the map online without the game? My phone can't run it and I've heard chatter that my family's business is a stop and there have been random people sitting in the parking lot. There has to be some tool like this since a lot of people are talking about businesses telling people to fuck off for loitering.

we can look at this ourselves. lets forget for a time the manchildren and focus on the teenagers

teenagers are at the age they like tribalism. however, its not been avable to majority of teenagers and the minority has their own tribalism actions in their own areas. now thanks to this pokemon app, teenagers can link themselves to tribe of one of the tree teams. this can be if wanted to escalate things into level of teenagers attacking each other, but that requires right enviroiment and taunts. the teen must be at the phase of
>taking the tribalism seriously
>bad mood(of lack of nourishments)
>given the feel agression is okay(the child in the past always got their way, even when angry)
>provokation from other team(extreme dislike towards the team)

also i looked at the pokemon own website
>Players can spend real money on PokéCoins, the in-game currency of Pokémon GO. PokéCoins can then be exchanged for power-ups, extra items, and other enhancements
what this means they can taunt people to waste money, here is example
>the app notices you do not have pokepalls avable
>spawn more rare pokemon near you
>now if you want the pokemon you have to spend real life money on pokeballs to aquire it or you might not get it

100%, with the caveat that we don't know who precisely benefits. That's irrelevant though, it's most certainly going to be used for distributed intelligence networking (DINdu). It's pretty genius actually and is an example of how we must operate at the top of our game. We're up against it.

As long as I get a Vulpix, I don't care

It's not about the fact that they already can do it, it's about speed of information gathering as well as cost-effectiveness.

With this app, you have local on-the-ground assets everywhere around the world, you don't need to send agents anymore, and you don't need to verify their loyalty.

It's also fast, 15 minutes later and you already have fresh surveillance photos. It's also nearly free. How can any other country's local intelligence programs compete with one that operates on zero cost? They can't.

Words of a person with no purpose in life. Stay focused because if Trollary gets into office, or #BLM terrorists like #Deray4Treason have their way, you won't have food let alone some game faggotry.

user gets it.

it's called a fucking joke

because this

>Pokemon Go = CIA Distributed Intelligence Network?
"oh, here we go the hourly shitposting/conspiracy thread about two links they happened to stumble upon"
>Offers incentives for you to go to certain places
>Can access your GPS and camera
oh fuck

crowd sourcing intelligence
Sup Forums we have been stepped-down, senpais

You can already do that using the same internet Nintendo is using.

OH FUCK ME

NIANTIC (the dev of Pokemon Go) IS RUN BY THIS GUY

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Hanke

HE WAS CEO OF

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keyhole,_Inc.

WHICH WAS FUNDED BY

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Geospatial-Intelligence_Agency

IT'S FUCKING ON M8'S

THE TRAIL HAS BEEN FOLLOWED.

...

you pick your nose with your wiener?

>Suddenly the CIA has an updated photo map of the entire area, and the lone security guard standing outside can't do shit before they all run off to catch the next Pokemon.

And where were you when Google drove through every street in every town in the first world with 3D camera vans taking pictures for their map database?

Exactly. Shut the fuck up.

What did they mean by this?

Anyone with a brain can see right through the functional benefit of PG, if you're too dumb that's fine but don't take an oppositional position with name calling you look weakfag.

none of the pokemon are actually on the ground like in OPs picture. they are always mid air so you have to hold your phone up. i've also noticed that you have to pan around more to find the pokemon when you are indoors versus when you are outdoors. really makes you think...

What the fuck are you on about cunt

goes even further. Depending on OS you can even collect wlan information, use the microphone for area mapping. I don't know if this app has the necessary permissions for it but a smartphone that a threat actor can move around at will is scary useful.

>the guy involved with map technology made a geocaching game company based around GPS maps

Good, that means he's qualified.

We talked about it then too faggot your "argument" makes no sense shill.

Keyhole was intel agency backed faggot, learn a thing.

>implying anything in my email, contacts, or personal information could be used against me in any crime
Are you building bombs in your basement to use against the country and telling your friends through fucking email, of all things, ya cunt? Do you need to investigated relentlessly by CIA?

Oh Alex jones said it? Well shit, it must be true then. Man I hope they don't notice me filming the chemtraiils, I better buy some more of Alexs' water filters

BTW I was going to say "alphabet agency" instead of "intel agency" but then I thought of Google's move recently. Makes ya think...

I don't remember anyone giving nearly as much of a fuck about that as they do about Pokémon go. If you really think Pokémon go is a new level of privacy invasion you're retarded. Anything this app could collect has already been collected.

If you're fine with willingly giving up any and all forms of personal privacy then I pity you.

I'm serious

the CIA spending millions to spy on you masturbating to anime porn is horseshit

BUT

the CIA spending millions to create a WORLDWIDE, CHEAP, COMPLETELY DENIABLE and COVERT intelligence tool is a fucking stroke of geniuos

>be dumb enough to think they can't already access all of that

Google Maps is banned in China precisely because they suspected it was part of intelligence gathering.

>The CIA is using PokemonGO to spy on you!
>The CIA has been spying on us for years, so has google, microsoft, apple, amazon and a variety of other soulless megacorps. Why is this colorful app suddenly a problem?
>"what if"

I want midnight climax back, at least then there was an explination for everone suddenly losing their minds.

>was

This.

You really don't think the CIA wouldn't get access to your Gmail or your phone records if they wanted them?

>personal privacy
>probably uses google every day of his life
Sorry not all of us watch transsexuals and sissy boys on the internet, user. As long as they leave my bank account, voicemail and freedoms alone I could care less.

*goys

Literally one of the NSA leaks was that they put a backdoor in angry birds to make getting access to your shit easier and cheaper for them.

Its not a zero sum game you retards.

Oh no the company partnered/invested in by Google can access my Gmail!

crashing this world with no survivors

>Can access your GPS and camera

What stopped them before? Practically everything you do with an internet connection is datamined anyway.

Or, let me hear out, or they just wait for the Google.map update

Wuah so CIA like Holy shit man

Instead of doing this stupid shit maybe they could just send one of their guys to take a pic instead?

>if you have nothing to hide then what are you afraid of ?

Which costs them less money and manpower?

hurr durr

>>Hurr send out people!
>Hurr nuh dey use pakeymon bcuz it b cheepr

>Not realizing that it takes prettymuch fucking nothing for the NSA/CIA to access your phone even before pokemon was a thing

They're not spying on you, they couldn't give a fuck about you, they're USING YOU AS A SPY. If they wanted to track a drug/weapons dealer, they might throw a rare pokemon next to where they suspect him to be, and you go to catch it through augmented reality on your phone, not realizing that as you're doing it your phone is transmitting surveillance photo/video of that dude in the background.

There will come a day when those drug dealers/terrorist will realize the threat this presents, and kill some innocent pokemonfag who wandered into the middle of nowhere trying to catch a Charizard.

*the CIA spending millions to make YOU part of a WORLDWIDE, CHEAP, COMPLETELY DENIABLE and COVERT intelligence tool is a fucking stroke of geniuos

there have been diplomats playing it. There was that pic of that israeli diplomat-politician playing it. This is scary. This is a fucking masterpiece of deception.

crowd sourced science through videogames
crowd sourced image recognition through google captcha
and now crowd sourced intelligence through the pokeymans

Having access to your phone isn't enough, you need to direct a field agent to a target area.

Pokemon are the bait that lead you to that specific target area so they can then use your phone however they wish.

>Pokeyman is overpriced and a retarded waste of money
Please do tell more, great sage.

So do you think they've put a ton of nothing but rattata over zones like area 51 to ward off potential intruders?

the point is not the CIA being able to access your device

the point is the CIA making YOU go where they want, YOU aim the device at what they want to see

dude!
>that tin foil hat of yours
has just evolved my thinking

Has anyone tried looking at a packet capture?

Well thats a bunch of bullshit. As i played it as well, and certainly it was mostly on the floor, unless you are a manlet, then maybe they would be floating for you.

It wouldn't even save that much money compared to what they do now. In fact it would probably be a loss.

Oh, you mean that AR switch thing that you can turn off?

Really, do you scrubs even have any proof to back up your schizophrenic claims? Not every stupid fucking thing that's popular is a conspiracy to ruin you

>which one actually gets you the picture you need and which one gets you a picture of the ground or the inside of a pocket

you know that you can turn the AR off right? Not even every phone plays with the AR.

This whole idea is stupid as fuck and shows a complete lack of understanding of how phones, cameras, human beings, and the game itself work

I don't imagine there would be any data gathering at this time. It's still what one might call the "infection phase". After the game is widely adopted, and the hype has died down, and there is enough of a consistently large player base to mask suspicious activities, that would be the time to activate the intel gathering part. And even then it would be smart to do it with individual accounts, send 1 or 2 people to a sensitive area or to track the movements of a person of interest.

the cia as well as russia and china have had access to gps, cameras, email and microphones for at least a decade

>people in similar industries know each other and tend to work together

news at 11

...

we need to bring all the aspects related to pokemon go on the table, some that have been listed already
>aquired money
>aquired information of inviduals who willingly use the app
>aquired information of inviduals who do not willingly use the app(app helps to make line between those who can be manipulated and those who do not. if those who cannot be manipulated are small in number, they can be pin pointed out and later in the george orwell future, assasinated out

>manipulation of the masses
>manipulation of the young

and all of these can be used by those who want to mold the world to their liking, no matter how impossible it would be at the end, they still will make attempt at it

we can laugh now as it would be silly to think that someone is out there to get you, but all this information, such as leaked hillary emails only keeps confiming how vile some humans can be

Does your phone stream the video when you have the camera on?

>Auschwitz tourism center banned PoGo

lmao

>also i looked at the pokemon own website
>>Players can spend real money on PokéCoins, the in-game currency of Pokémon GO. PokéCoins can then be exchanged for power-ups, extra items, and other enhancements

>>now if you want the pokemon you have to spend real life money on pokeballs to aquire it or you might not get it

yeah except for:
>there are no notifications when you aren't on
>the game basically shits out items faster than you can use them

the reality is that they will definitely collect as much 3d data as possible and most likely that will be how this game makes money

does that mean are phones are being turned into bot-net surveillance devices?

not really, or not in the way retards in this thread are suggesting. Useful data they can get is stuff like how long it takes to walk from point A to B, fill in 3d maps of the world with angles that something like google map cars would not reach, and other kinds of demographic and environmental data

but hey, half the kids in here think the NSA and CIA are movie-tier organizations with unlimited resources, time, and technology

>pretending irrelevant data about unimportant civvies searching Porn is logged and ever used

Nah, that shit gets passed over and erased. It takes up space and bandwidth. ALL data that isn't important gets trashed. Only illegal and terrorist acts get flagged.

You're all retards acting like it's even logistically possible to monitor every citizen's network data. Programs already do it and they are literal 010101 codes that don't give a shit about anything but the illegal shit they're programmed to flag. EVERYTHING else is deleted, never to be seem by any Human.

But why would they need to fund some japanese videogame when they can just as well ask google for their data? Hell, I bet nowadays they can easily prepare for most field operations by just using Google maps and Streetview and sift through the pictures random people have already uploaded with geo data. I'm living in a pretty quiet suburb and even here some faggots uploaded pics of every single "interesting" landmark including park benches and field roads.

>Offers incentives for you to go certain places

damn this is really making me think OP.....

Samsung's hiding the spyware in the baseband chipset now too so there's literally nothing you can do, no amount of cyanogen mods can save that platform.

That really wouldn't surprise me at all.

Phones stream video even when the camera is "off", what did you think why you need to charge them so often?

they aren't omnipotent, you give them way more credit than they deserve

general encryption and security technology is pretty good, that's kind of the whole point of these organizations having to beg, bribe, or threaten tech companies into putting in flaws. That doesn't give them access to everything and it especially doesn't give them access to it whenever they want.

You've bought into the governments propaganda, good job.

>What's the rarest pokemon seen so far?

Thought to be exterminated many years ago, this one turned up recently in Poland.

>Useful data they can get is stuff like how long it takes to walk from point A to B
and the time when you use your pokemon app and when you do not

all we need is someone(CIA?) having all the information from different devices and apps, that one person uses and they know everything about that singular person

what makes me worry is that on top of that people often are quite similiar to each other, so one profile can help to make more proflies of people that are alike faster, which eventually leads to small group of people with no profiles made. then round up all the people who has no profiles made of, thanks to them being completely skeptical of goverment survellience and put bullet through their heads. why? because these people are dangerous towards the manipulative tyrants

its now or never, if masses stop caring, then we are finished

>movie-tier organizations with unlimited resources, time, and technology
thats why they need this kind of applications, it saves resources, time and improves technology through it

Not watching you... Using you as a spy drone... LoL

And now they just can't avoid it, with all the chinese people playing it... IF this is real, I can't but say that it's incredibly smart.
