Planet Labs, one of the world’s leading commercial satellite imaging companies, said Friday it is placing a hold on releasing imagery of some parts of the Middle East as a regional war enters its second week.

Planet wants to prevent "adversarial actors" from using images for "Battle Damage Assessment" purposes.

    Expect to see uptick in posts/comments critical of lemmy/fediverse because it's critical of the USA.

    Generally it's framed as something else like UI, grammar, content, or people but with the goal of trying to dissuade people from using it.

    The imperialists censorship works in multiple ways, by censoring content in their own platforms and also sowing distrust and reservation in platforms they don't control.
