Israel also shares this concern, apparently: http://www.nytimes.com/aponline/2016/08/01/world/middleeast/ap-ml-israel-pokemon-go.html http://www.nytimes.com/apo

  There's a pretty big difference between a military banning active-duty soldiers from using it and a country banning its use across the board.

  I know there is this concern in India as well. My Machiavellian instinct was to say - demand the servers be located in India, and the data not leave India. Also - demand data be shared with agencies. Agencies need data collection - and this seems to be a fairly cost effective way of collecting geo spatial data. I mean if security is a concern not sure why the government refuses to work out some deal w/ the Pokemon folks rather than go all ape and ban it.

  Israel banned it on military bases (it wouldn't surprise me if most countries do the same), you have an active application which records GPS coordinates, near by players, and uses the camera this conflicts with even basic opsec.
