Lol, hope they enjoy the entire planet mysteriously "drifting" to NYC during raid hours and events.

Very thankful that I never played!

Man can you imagine both doing 9/11 and buying Pokemon Go in 25 years

ttzera.bsky.social•11 days ago

That's not as funny as you think it is.

TikTok is the most popular app in the world and when the U.S. banned it U.S. users gladfully fled to RedNote. This generation, hell humanity, does not give a fuck about their data being harvested.

Mostly true.

This generation was raised by someone...

well… crap.

deltalazuli.bsky.social•11 days ago

if anything i'm worried where niantic/spatial is going, not where pokemon go is. they were already training machines off all that data

wildlystrollingben.bsky.social•11 days ago

You didn't make a Pokémon go to Saudi Arabia joke?

mjthompson.bsky.social•9 days ago

Yeah, so happy I never got I to that. But I’m sure someone’s got all my location data anyway.

Ikr? Still, it's doubtful anyone had this on their bingo card.

thegrinningowl.bsky.social•11 days ago

Yay they can see where I took a leak against a tree back in, like, 2018. Congrats for that...

Suckas!

You could have used the PIF logo, the Savvy Games logo or a picture of MBS, but I don't understand the use of the country flag except if your goal is to exploit people's misconceptions and fear about Arabs.

Next time Elon, Mark or Jeff buy something are you going to use the American flag?

ptros.bsky.social•9 days ago

It's not fear of Arabs, it's not liking the Saudi Crime Family and their growing control of stuff that's fun. They fucking suck

Remember what they did to Khashoggi on behalf of Mohammed bin Salam? Of course SA as whole is not responsible for this, but having personal data from people who may criticize the higher ups from this country is critical.

*peoples conceptions and fears about saudi arabia

Also since elon, mark or jeff are to my knowlegde not a governmental public investment fund, the use of an american flag would be weird.

barterloch.bsky.social•11 days ago

Most US corporations are not owned by the state regime, although Musk is rapidly becoming a contender.

barterloch.bsky.social•11 days ago

Why would a country’s official flag stoke fears and misperceptions?

So?
Thousands of companies already have your location data. What makes this any different ?
