Seeing all these Pokemon go people the last few days has really made me think, and I've come up with some interesting ideas.
For those of you that are unaware of how the game works, basically pokemon will show up on a cartoon-like map that is fed to the game from google maps, which will coincide with the area you are in. You see where the pokemon are, then travel to that location and use the camera on your phone to "search" for the pokemon.
Google made this game, not nintendo, this is google and the data coming from the game is going to them. It has been said that google is trying to get scans of the insides of the houses of players, which sounds very likely. But I want to explore the full scope of the massive invasion of privacy this game could introduce.
There are two scenarios I see for this invasion, and both could be happening at the same time.
1. Googles new captchas with image recognition, have been using human brains for a while now to help computers understand what objects are. So with scans of the inside of homes, google will have databases of ANY object in your house. Which will be used to advertise to you, or unfortunately be used against you, especially if you have a gun, and google would know EXACTLY where these objects are within your house.
>>80610796
2. I've seen this happen to an extent, a pokemon is in a certain area, and people will FLOCK to that area. Last night I saw 3 separate groups of people wandering around a golf course with their phones scanning for pokemon. Let's say for example, Google or the government (basically the same thing at this point) are searching for you, and they have an idea of where you are. All they have to do is drop a few rare pokemon in the location they think you are, and all of the sudden, they will have dozens of cameras searching for you, peeking through your windows, and there's nothing you can do about it. I've seen people on Youtube go into someone's BACKYARD to get one of these things, just imagine 20 people trying to find one.
There's no fucking way I'm going to download that game, but just be aware. This is the next step in the dissolving privacy.

game will be put down after a couple pedophiles use it to lure kids
Wow
scary
You are right. This is just too much. I am now #MentallyHill
>>80610890
Fuck. See, I didn't even download the app, so I wasn't even aware of all that shit that you have to let it do.
I was just making a statement on how the actual use of the app is a massive invasion. That's some insane shit right there. Just one more reason I will never install that app
>>80611032
If I was a criminal, it would seriously be easy to earn insane money off this. From what I've seen, you can use "lures" or something to attract multiple pokemon to an area. If you wanted all the phones of the people that wander into that area. You could take them all, no problem. You'd make an easy $3000 per spot, and nobody could do anything.
But Articuno is the spirit of winterchan :( :(
just what we need... more people walking around with their heads down looking at their fucking phones instead of who/whats in-front of them.
>>80611627
Atleast we will get rid of retards. It's actually beneficial.
>>80611627
Actually, they are looking at what's infront of them, they're just also sending what's infront of them to google for future use
I keep duct tape on my camera for this reason
Is pokemon GO popular in US?
>>80610796
Fuck you are right, this is being used to make a 3D photo map of everything. That's literally what is happening
>>80611419
You know what would be great? If a bunch of people on /pol/ spoofed GPS and lured like a thousand Pokemon to every ghetto in America.
I dunno how this shit works but I'm sure somebody could make a guide, might help expedite the race war.
>>80611032
its already been used to lure victims for robberies, expext pedos within a month.
>>80610796
I tried to play it and when I was playing my phone case was always covering the camera. Fuck the police state. Also honestly its easier to through balls on a black background. Then I installed a fake gps location app because I was lazy and didnt want to go outside and since then the game couldn't start lol. So they have semy discent varification that your gps location is legit probably they match it with your ip location desu.

Meh, we already know Google already monitors everything we see, hear, and do.
What's yet another monitor?
>>80610796
wtf i hate trump now
I wanted to try the game today
thanks for this
definitely not playing this jew game, fuck you google
>>80611944
Very. My first encounter with this game was the day it came out. I saw two security guards walking around the parking lot looking for a pokemon. Now that I'm aware of it, I see these fuckers everywhere. One of these days, I'm going to get someone jumping my fence to get into my backyard to catch a fucking pidgey
>>80612069
That's already happening to an extent. There have been a lot of robberies because idiots wander into a dangerous neighborhood without thinking and get their shit stolen
https://www.engadget.com/2016/07/10/robbers-use-pokemon-go-to-lure-victims/
>>80612003
Yes, that's probably the main goal, 3d map of everything. If they're missing a spot, all they have to do is stick some pokemon there and people will go there and scan it for them
>>80610890
Hollyfuck..
So I loaded it and have since deleted it, is it still on my phone or am I good?

At least kids are going outside for video games. I say it's worth it
the only way your conspiracy theory could hold is if you assume that Google knew this would catch on as massively as it did. Which is retarded to think because apart from their search engine, Google has had like 99% failure with innovations. If you believe that Google could have created an app and known with certainty that millions upon millions of people would download it, then we have much bigger issues than what you're suggesting OP.
>>80612559
This is politically related. Google is a front for the governments agencies. And this is an invasion of privacy. This would, however, get the tinfoil crinkling over on /x/ though
Pokemons pretty pozzed. Any nostalgia crap is,but there's something annoying about the main demographic of pokecrap being 20 year old millennials
>>80612698
Unless they can find a way to fuck the pokemon, I doubt they'll go for it.
>>80610818
You're fucking dumb. If the government wants to know where you are they don't need to drop Pokemon they just ping you and walk over and fuck your shit up.
If you go on Facebook or other social media for its intended use where all that advertising actually hits you that's your fault.
Wish you guys would just realize it's an app to stop making us so autistic sitting in our dark rooms 24/7. Go outside and stop being fat and gay.
>>80612510
You're already dead inside m8.
>>80612625
I'm starting to see kids and teens in my neighborhood that I've never seen before. Granted they're ugly or meek looking but at least they're socializing with kids their age and getting out of the house.
>>80610890
No more Pokemon Go for me. Good thing this app is relatively new and they haven't had the time to go about leaking through and gathering people's shit.
>>80612665
>be google
>Have access to almost all internet searches
>See interest in pokemon mobile app
Pretty sure they know. And think about it, all the kids that grew up obsessed over pokemon, are now ALL using smartphones, of course they would download a free app that has addictive gameplay. Its fucking pokemon man
>>80610796
I'm not worried. No smart phones in my house, so no way to play a game that, quite frankly, doesn't seem all that fun anyways.
More like Pokemon GO fuckyourself
am i right?
You can turn off the aspect of the game that uses your camera conspiritards.
>>80610796
I am not against anything you posted.
This information can be used to make video games great again. Open world with open doors. Imagine gta v where you can go into any building anywhere.
sounds dank af
so we break a few eggs making an omelette.. acceptable losses.
>>80613030
just like you can turn off the backdoor the NSA has on your computer right?
>>80613030
>You can turn off the aspect of the game that uses your camera conspiritards.
But 90% will not and g can use their cameras for mapping objects of interest.
>>80610796
They can also use it to manipulate people into visitng locations where for instance goods are sold. You lure people to shop / eat somewhere and so on.
Cool I'm gonna download it and have a go
>>80612827
How many people on facebook would willingly wander around their house scanning the inside and send that info to facebook or google? How many people will walk around the inside of a church and scan it for google? Not many. But now you have dozens of people doing it constantly.
I wouldn't be suprised if theres a reason for all churches being "pokestops". They probably want to guage activity at these places constantly, and now they have a way to have cameras pointed at these spots constantly
>>80613089
It is already possible for GTA to do that. If GTA 4 or 5 wanted the graphics to appear similar to GTA 3, Vice City, or San Andreas, they could have made absolutely every building fully furnished. They didn't do that because its easier to make things look shiny than it is to actually map out all these different areas.
>>80610796
this game is virtual crack. also dangerous as fuck. I guarantee there are going to be plenty of deaths from driving and playing. how long until Pokemon Go is banned?
I saw a 10/10 blonde girl wandering around with a backpack and baseball hat playing Pokemon Go it was pretty adorable desu
>>80610818
>>80610796
I think that google image captcha is also used to teach robots how to recognize things and eventually make an autonomic killing machine.
They already have access to your camera ,location, and microphone anyways, this game doesn't really add any more surveillance, they best thing you can do is uninstall all apps that have anything to do with Google since they use the apps to listen to what you say and cover your cameras
Jesus Christ you stupid faggots will post about anything, won't you? Fuck off to /b/ with this shit.
No I don't work for jewgle, I'm just sick of you fags posting off topic shit on my board.
>>80612665
It is fucking Pokemon, it was a huge hit in the 90s and got yearly a revival.
They won't stop at Pokemon tho, next it might be "Legend of Zelda Conquest" or "Kingdom Hearts Adventures".
Then all the little kids and some feeble minded adults will roam around and sooner or later they succeeded at their plan.
This might have not been Google initial idea but rather the NWO directing plans through Google.
>>80612665
You are fucking underestimating a tech giant like google

>Add characters from childhood game and new name
>????
>PROFIT!
>>80613197
There's already photos of all these points of interest in the app.
All the points of interest are in public places.
The app isn't even made to be played in your house.
It's designed to get you out in public.
The danger isn't from some evil google corporation spying on you.
The danger is people staring at their phone and wandering into dangerous situations, driving while using their phone and naive young people being lured into dangerous areas or being taken advantage of by dangerous people.
>>80613403
Also uninstall any social media look what twitter can do
>>80613197
And what's the problem with having an in-depth 3D map of everything? Nothing. It just gives developers more information to use.
This 'conspiracy' is the same fucking thing as Captcha. Really not a big deal.
>>80613089
>imagine gta v

Ah! See you on the reserves, savages.
>>80613526
They'll have something new. Now that nintendo has seen how well this is doing, and how profitable this is for them. They'll let google do anything for them. Nintendo is dying and they'll sell their soul to survive
>>80610796
You raise some interesting points but you don't need to use the camera to play the game. Most people are not using the camera in their own home and you're not generally encountering pokemon in your own home. It's actually easier to catch pokemon without the camera in-use which is counterproductive if they want a 3D map of our homes.
The thing is, it's a fad. It wont have long term applications because most people wont play it long term; there's just not enough to do in it and you'll run into the same pokemon time and time again unless you're specifically going out of your way to go to new places. I played the game for 1 day and basically caught all the pokemon that are common in my neighborhood.
It's definitely the beginning of more games like this but PokemonGO itself
>>80610890
But I already use chrome. Google knows all the hentai I look at already.
I'm still here and shitposting. Ain't nobody coming to ge
>>80613480
I was playing this today. I didn't see a single child playing at all. It was all 18-40 years olds.
>>80612665
PS: It doesn't take a wizard to figure out, that pokemon + augmented reality paired with the latest in incentive reaserch could become a killerapp (in an indirect sense obviously) for a 3d scanned world.
>>80613785
but PokemonGO itself wont stay relevant unless they make some huge changes.
The use of microphone and looking at webhistroy is disconcerting though because the game doesn't require those things at all.

Here's the thing
Having a smartphone by default puts you out of privacy.
An APP isn't going to do anymore than what Google is already up to.
You're getting mined for data on 4chin right now.
Example, I've noticed than only when I am at someone else's house do I have to put in captcha to post from an iPad, at my own house, maybe one in every 10 posts.
I've had screenshots of when the NSa had its tool kits leaked deleted of of my phone remotely.
You already bought into the smartphone data mine experiment.
DUDE LMAO HOW CAN POKEMON BE BAD? DID YOU NOT GROW UP IN THE 90S? STOP TRYING TO RUIN MY CHILDHOOD
>>80614290
That has already happened.
https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2016/jul/10/pokemon-go-armed-robbers-dead-body
>>80610796
Pictures of the inside of your house are less useful than and more costly to process than your browsing habits. google has already monopolised on data mining, this fad is a drop in the water so cool your tinfoil hat.
Google could also charge businesses money to place Pokemon in or around their premises.
That way they lure all sorts of additional potential customers.
Much more effective than standard advertising.
>>80610796
Have to give props to google. The way they exploit human's craving for attention, achievement and their hunter-gatherer instinct is quite ingenious. Just let them run around collecting data for free as long they're getting some shiny pictures and "+x" points added to a variable.
>>80610890
every app on a phone ask you for permission on this shit, even the ones that already comes installed on it, neither never have a smartphone or accept that the goverment spies on everyone since the invention of the radio
>>80612827
You're fucking dumb. If the government wants to know where you are they don't need to drop Pokemon they just ping you and walk over and fuck your shit up.

>implying pokejew is same as 90s pokemon
You guys are all so gullible
There's nothing sinister about pokemon go at all you just walk around parks and catch pokemon
First of all Google didn't develop this game it was made by niantic who used to work with Google but they split last year
Second (assuming that this is like ingress) pokemon spawn locations are based off of cellular data in the area
I'm way out in the country so very few pokemon spawn near me compared to my sibling who lives in Chicago
Third the idea of them using your phone to scan the inside of your house is retarded
If you use the ar mode in pogo you'll notice that the background is very low res and most people are walking around to find pokemon so if their goal with this was to look inside peoples homes they failed
>>80614272
I've already got both of those things.
I'm just telling you what they're going to do. Google is already confirmed to be an arm of the CIA, the CIA is just creaming themselves at the thought of people willingly sending info about the inside of their houses
>>80614791
I can attest to this also.
A friend of mine some years ago when he was a shit was out tagging and painting trains, he got tagged, and his iphone went wild with noises and lights when he ran from the cops.
>>80614791
> ping you
What exactly do you think this means?
>>80613719
If they add player vs player battles in the same style as the regular games they could keep people hooked for years.

Not full not in great detail. Imagine CIA want to make hit and they have an address. Realistically the best they will have is drive by of google car, but only front door not backyard. Also google car doesn't drive everywhere. With Pokemon you can obtain very detail scan of home and surrounding from all sides s fast and with zero risks. Plus perfect cover for operatives of CIA when will come their time.
>>80615370
> Do rights as a property owner extend to vr space in an ar game?

You clearly have no idea what you are talking about.
Besides it would be so much easier to just some guy to spy then rely on a bunch of autistic cartoon fans to do your spying for you.
They're testing for foot traffic generation for new format advertising.
Instead of showing you an ad for a product or store you'll be guided into the store by your augmented reality game.
And they'll have concrete metrics for how effective each ad campaign is especially since everyone will be using phone "wallets".
Eventually it will probably be detailed enough to hand pick what shit you didn't even know you need and you'll be showing up to Walmart to catch a Pikachu in front of a 30pack of toilet paper and remember you need tp.

it never actually says anything new
anyone who isnt some brain dead millennial knows better but the average smartphone user are so technologically illiterate they will suck on anything and believe it without question from their phones because it just works. why do you need to know how smartphone works anyways? you are just a dumb kid here download this app its fun, its not going to harm you at all. dont forget this update.

GTA IV was pretty good about being able to go inside a fair amount of buildings. GTA V seemed to just rub it in our face that next to 0 buildings are accessible. I hate open world games where its just a giant outdoor map with nothing to fucking do.
>>80616516
Custom ROM and IP tables stops them
>>80616766
these stories with people asking to go into someone's home because there's a pokemon inside are fake.
as soon as you can see the pokemon on the map you can engage it, so if they see on the map it's on someone's property, they can already catch it from where they stand. the range is pretty big too.
>>80616422
Most no ones gonna do that unless you roll it our into a blingin one touch app that does it for them with an instructional manual the size of a tweet.
If it's not something you were conscious of before getting a phone, then you've already got data of you collected.
I haven't had a smartphone in near two years, and while I can memorize phone numbers and street directions a bunch easier, all I want is the camera, the music, the calls, and gps.
All the extra gay shit that pushes the prices past 700+ is just fluff.

But imagine this:
Google collects data that a Google user is probably a racist and an islamophobe so in order to "fix" their racism and indoctrinate them to liberal views, they'll keep sending them to ethnic neighbourhoods to get a cultural education.
And since they've sent a racist there, they'll send ethnic palyers in the vicinity to the same location in hope of making them bond over this dumb game. Granted, in a very roundabout way, but it can and will be used to brainwash people.

How large is the range then? If people don't need to travel at all, then the game is shit. The fans will demand to make it more realistic.
In a way it's even better for them. They can claim that they didn't want the game to be like this, but since the people are asking for it they will gladly deliver on this next level of privacy invasion.
And they won't even have to fake any complaints, people will genuinely want them to do this.

I always tell this everyone, but the only law that affects these fuckers are weapons, a bullet between the eyes, nothing else. They slowly changed the newer generations into something disastrous that supports them. And they haven't stopped this indoctrination, nearly half, or more than half of the western population already belongs to them and we are losing this war, our numbers are dwindling and their grows.
This will end in a war I tell you, the peaceful solution became unavailable the moment democracy died.

Google didn't make the game. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Niantic,_Inc. this company did. They already made an AR game prior to Pokemon Go. Nintendo just licensed the IP to them.
Pokemon Go is now out for iOS and Android, and was released 7/7/16.
It was created by Niantic, Inc., which was founded by the Keyhole, Inc. founder John Locke. Keyhole Inc. was funded by Sony & Nvidia, along with a nice chunk of money coming from the CIA's venture capital firm In-Q-Tel, with In-Q-Tel receiving the majority of funding from the National Geospatial Agency.
The NGA was formerly known as NIMA, the National Imaging and Mapping Agency, until 2003. The NGA's primary focus is mapping Geospatial Intelligence, or GEOINT. Geospatial Intelligence is intelligence about human activity on earth derived from the exploitation and analysis of imagery and geospatial information that describes, assesses, and visually depicts physical features and geographical referenced activities on the Earth.
I checked out the NGA.mil website, the main page had an ad for what looked to be some type of Holo-Lens over a girl's face, advertising their magazine they publish. I'm sure they publish that for all their employees, not for general public to know (although it's free to read on their site, just not a popular publication since only NGA probably knows about it, and the few people that lurked onto the site accidentally).
So Niantic/Pokemon Go is basically a front for Geospatial Intelligence gathering, just like the former Ingress from the same company (which wasn't as hugely popular as the Pokemon intellectual property, basically every 90's kid with a capable smart phone is out playing this).
If they need pictures for a specific area updated, they don't have to send any agents/employees. They just spawn a rare Pokemon and someone using the app will take some pictures for them...
The Privacy Policy for Pokemon Go is a also bit Orwellian.
What are your guys thoughts on this application? Just a new Augmented Reality (AR) game, or GEOINT Agency wet dream?

This. I watched the cartoon when I was really little on Saturday mornings, but since stopped. Every time I hear about people my age literally driving around to try and find these little pictures on their phone it makes me think that we have an entire generation of 24 year olds who never developed past age 8.

>>80615843
Nah mate the future isn't making you walk to the advertisement to see it.
The future is making devices like this >>80616448
that are light enough and small enough that people will wear them constantly, then putting a camera on the front so that everyone is viewing a filtered reality of their choosing and having ads pop up and follow people around constantly.
People not using the same app as you will just see an advertisement when they look at you.
You will get 50 ad pop ups a day right in front of your face unless you pay the company a daily fee to disable them or limit them to 1 or 2 per day.
Ads will be virtually inserted all around you.
Everybody will be viewing the world through screen and camera, a digitally controlled reality filter.
Even you.
Some might rather live in a world surounded by cartoons, some people might wish to only see other people with naked women avatars, or maybe you want to live in that world where everyone is the same race as you? You'll see it, it won't be real but the world around you will look like a 1950s american dream or psychedelic dream world or a post apocalyptic wasteland.
Everyone will have their eyes covered by ultra HD screens and rarely see the sun or the sky for themselves.
That's where we are headed.

If Google already knows everything about me, what fear do I have from playing Pokemon go? Will they know even more than everything?
How's that possible?
>>80618705
google already has all the data coming in and out of your phone if they want to.
honestly why give a fuck, the government doesn't need pokemon to know this information and neither does google.
fuck if you have an android phone all that shit was sent to google the minute you turned it on.
why not let the ignorant enjoy their game while they have it. in a year the race war will happen, three years the second civil war, which im totally gonna fight in bc I need some excitement in my life and what better than shooting niggers.
>>80619198
Not to this extent. This allows continous image capture for them.
And as I've said earlier, it's not just about the data. They'll be sending people to whatever location they deem necessary for whatever reason.
This would have been an amazing concept when I was a kid in the 90's. I walked all over the place as a kid. Not that we had cellphones in any case.
As a man in his 30's I am kinda jelly. Not because I would play it now or really care now, but mainly because I would be creaming my pants over something like this as a kid.
>>80610890

Lol turn off augmented reality. Whoa no more camera being pointed around.
If people use google maps, Facebook, any other basic app required to use a smart phone everything you do is already tracked. The agreement when you first sign up for Google or iOS pretty much waives your right to do anything without them knowing.
If you root your phone, you MAY get past it.

I did download the Pokemon Go app, deep down I knew it was going to be an invasion of privacy. But truthfully I realized I didn't want to drive around, find locations, go in houses, socialize, and point the camera at people. I do want to play, but the cons outweigh the pros. To me.
>>80610796
Why the fuck would they use a game? If they want access they will get access.
Google have had this kind of power since a few years back when it got released that they could (if they wanted to) look through your camera, get your phones location, etc etc.
This is just one of many modern "games" that will come out in droves and it won't change a fucking thing if you download the game or not.
I wonder what kinda pokemon you can find in in Iraq or Syria
>>80623268
Were you walking around the town with your phone focusing on the road, houses and people? The thing they were getting 90% of the time was your pocket. Now they get a full HD view of what you're actually doing.
This is just a beginning.

People walking around texting 24/7 with their phones glued to their faces right infront of them, or people walking around talking in their phones.. hence holding it steady on the right or left ear.
I guess that's not a problem then.
I tried the game app because of this thread and when I walked outside the first 3-4 pokemons was on the ground.. which means I had to point my phone down in the ground to see the pokemon. But I guess Google can rotate the camera and see people infront of you.

That doesn't change what they said.
Especially because the coins can be gained defending gyms.
I installed it, but which saint will make me go cross the street to catch a fucking Pokemon?
it is NOT about GPS tracking
it is NOT about physical dangers
it is NOT about the propaganda they will slowly leak into the game in the future
this is about MY GAMEFREAK giving their franchise to a SHITTY WESTERN KEK MOBILE COMPANY to pander to normal shits
when the very first trailer was launched, you don't know how much i fucking REEEEEEEEE'd in pure anger
the main games also took a dive and traded content for shitty 3D graphics only normalshits get impressed by
BUT IT'S OKAY BRO IT'S POKEMON ORIGINAL 150 FTW
(150 IS INCORRECT. IT IS 151)
these same normalshits were the ones who laughed at people who play pokemon, and now, they are hopping on it with the cheap, shitty, intrusive watered-down pokemon go

Because all the pokemon I catch are actually a block or two away, my vr is off, and everybody is pointing their phones at the grass since pokes spawn on the ground and not in peoples windows

You do know on android 6.0 you can turn off permissions to stop an app from accessing things.
Futhermore object recognition has been a thing in Machine Learning for years now.
Secondly you are using this game on a phone whose OS is made by Google. Its funny that you think they would spy on you via some app and not embed it in the OS where you cant deny it accesses and such.
>>80610796
