In the latest episode of TST Radio, we dive deep into the intriguing implications of Pokemon Go and its role in our data-driven world. Turns out, South Park might have been onto something when they joked about chinPokémon being a tool for brainwashing and control.

From its inception, Pokemon Go has been more than just a game; it has served as a powerful data-gathering tool that has raised eyebrows among governments worldwide. We explore how Western nations, notably Belarus, have accused it of being a means to spy on citizens. As Google maps the external world, Niantic, the game's developer, is focusing on mapping the internal world.
