I distinctly remember a point when it was not visible. That is how I discovered the plans to build a complex there years ago. This was probably remedied not long after we started catching wind.
I'm sure it would not be difficult for Google, et al. to retroactively "fix" their public imagery data.
- knowaveragejoe 10y agoI wouldn't rule it out, but I'm left scratching my head as to the motivation why. I remember reading about said data center years ago, before they even broke ground. The location was known at that time, too. If the physical location was of such importance to censor it from satellite images, why then retroactively add those images back in?
- kakarot 10y agoHeh, I'm wondering if my memory has muddied a bit and I actually just saw the foundation being laid down, though I'm pretty sure it was black for a while. Either way seeing that sparked my interest and led to me finding out about plans to build a data center, which were largely conjecture and rumor at the time. At that point we really were all a bunch of conspiracy theorists without any hard evidence.
