Given the incompetence I'm not sure this isn't just mentally ill Chinese citizens LARPing.
It wouldn't be impossible to give a trained person a phone app that auto sends the pictures into the cloud then deletes them, leaving tourist pics for instance.
Fun project, set up a web site in Russia that pays people for photos at certain locations in the US and on sells them to who ever wants to buy them.
Cleaners and grunts get beer money, China gets photos. You take a cut. Everyone happy.
- beerandt 7y agoThis has to be common knowledge on here, but: You know that pokemon go basically fits this description, right? And that the developer (keyhole Inc) was a cia nga contractor / incubator project that made the precursor version of Google Earth years ago. What better way to get real time photo intelligence of a location than to drop a Picachu right in front and wait for the pics to come rolling in. I suspect that the Chinese and Russians have attempted to mimic this ability. Maybe we're seeing it play out. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Hanke https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Hanke
