🤔 💰 Glassing with Permission Only: Next-Generation Binocular Will Make Users Pay to View Private Land
Using mapping and GPS software, a new optics company hopes to reduce trespassing and poaching by obscuring private property
A consortium of digital mapping firms, A.I. developers, and traditional optics companies today unveiled a new binocular that prevents users from scouting private land unless they subscribe to what they call a “viewshed permission” app. The Private Land Observation Platform (PLOP) allows users to glass public land without constraints. However, private property is veiled behind a digital haze unless users subscribe to mapping software that “unlocks” viewscapes with an annual subscription.

In all fairness it*s April Fools, not April First Fools. April 1 may be the day most people think, but any day in April still counts.
I*ve used this as an excuse to pull April fools jokes for years after April 1 when people think they are safe and aren*t expecting anything.

the bigger issue is that there is enough crap like this that makes you believe something like this would actually be real.
