There's a lot of wild shit to unpack around this re-viralized post ( more details at nme.com/news/film/george-clooney-nespresso-advert-money-interview-sudan-dictator-satellite-twitter-viral-2581918 ) But also in the modern frame I think it's sort of wild this sort of private national surveillance project is not only affordable to private citizens but possible.

Individuals can put together a non-profit that can solicit money and donated satellite time to run what is fundamentally a state-level surveillance program of an entire other country. Good or bad as a project, when I saw this post for the first time that is where my brain went.

The fact that "we only saw $700K from Clooney" sort of makes this story even more wild. Real time satellite surveillance of an entire other nation comes fairly cheap.
