Satellite Image Company Restricts Mideast Content, Citing U.S. Government Request
(New York Times) Pranav Baskar - Planet Labs, a major satellite imagery provider, is indefinitely withholding access to imagery over Iran and the conflict region more broadly, citing a request from the U.S. government. The decision was announced in an email to customers on Saturday. Planet Labs said the government asked "all satellite imagery providers" to indefinitely withhold images for "safety and operational security reasons." It said it would "voluntarily withhold imagery over the area indefinitely until the conflict ends."
