Description
When you played Pokémon Go, you weren’t just catching virtual monsters, you were working, for free, to build a $15 billion global surveillance grid.
In this video, you will learn how a mobile game secretly built a digital twin of the Earth, how it positions Niantic to monopolize the future of augmented reality, and what happens to your data now that the system no longer needs the players.
