“These controls can include limiting who is able to task new imagery or purchase historical imagery over areas where US, NATO, & other allied & partner forces are actively operating, as well as over areas that are being actively targeted by adversaries,” Tomi Maxted, a #Vantor spox emailed.

“Vantor independently determines when & how these controls are implemented as part of our responsible business practices. These decisions are not mandated by any govt, military organization, or third party.”

Spatial #intelligence company #Vantor also confirmed that it has instituted controls over access to #satellite images of “parts of the Middle East” consistent with its existing policies.
 “During times of geopolitical conflict, Vantor may implement enhanced access controls to prevent the misuse of sensitive geospatial intelligence & to help protect allied forces & civilians.

#Satellite companies restrict access to #MiddleEast imagery amid #Iran #war

2 leading spatial #intelligence companies say they are restricting access to satellite images of the Middle East in response to the #US - #Israel war with Iran.
 #PlanetLabs & #Vantor, which are based in the #UnitedStates & have #federal contracts, say they were not “ordered” by any #government to restrict image #access.
