That is because no one is in Somalia receiving the information and sharing it on this network.
The parent has a valid point. If AIS (Automtic Identification System) is being broadcasted by ships that traverse the area around Somalia, pirates could indeed decode these transmissions using a simple VHF radio and free associated software, and literally have a map of detailed locations of all broadcasting ships within about 25-50 miles of the receiver (VHF is typically line of sight)
