There are satellites watching various important events all over the world right now. Satellites that we the public have no access to.
So instead of seeing the events for ourselves we get news from various totally untrustworthy and manipulative news things.
If we could access the satellites then we could see for ourselves, or at least seriously fact check the news things.
I think this would make things better, how about you?
I think best in class satellites are now producing images at resolution of 0.35…0.50m per pixel. You can go to Planet Labs website and check their image samples to understand what it means and the extent of verification you can get with that.
