‘Pokémon Go’: Government Surveillance App?
July 14th, 2016
For commentary on this, I’d mainly offer my 2012 piece: Ingress: Google’s Strange New Game
Flash forward to 2016 and Pokémon Go offers the same soft control, but now with mass appeal.
You might be thinking, mass appeal? What? With 10-year-olds?
It turns out that in the swipetarded zombie apocalypse, “Pokémon Go tops Twitter’s daily users, sees more engagement than Facebook.”
Who cares? What’s the point?
Essentially, spooks can get eyes-on places by directing swarms of zombies with mobile phones to seek out digital creatures and baubles at desired locations. Sure catch your Squirtle—while pointing your camera at a Hell’s Angels headquarters, for example.

I’d also recommend my ancient (2007) post, The American Culture Bomb: Satire from the Onion and a Long Forgotten U.S. Army War College Essay, which is more important than ever.
“Our victims volunteer.”
