How Pokémon Go players unknowingly trained military drones: ‘I was just playing a game’

Players of the game Pokémon Go scanned their environment for years for extra points. With the help of these billions of scans, an extremely precise navigation system has now been developed for military drones and robots, among others.

That calls for multiple worldwide lawsuits, considering players are 1. Mostly children 2. Unknowingly involved in such activities.

I swear there was an episode of South Park where Pokemon turned out to be conditioning for an air strike on Pearl Harbor.
