Pokemon GO has gotten so popular that it has even influenced the Pentagon, located in Arlington, Virginia. The Defense Department has banned Pokemon GO within the Defense Department’s facilities via a memorandum sent on July 19th. The memorandum warned all officials and defense contractors that playing Pokemon GO “poses a potential a security risk to secure and sensitive facilities”. This is due to the app’s GPS satellite network it uses, and the data it collects. Pentagon security officials fear that this could let people know the locations of rooms and “other sensitive facilities where secrets are stored” with accuracy. Another reason is this data could also come from Pentagon officials with access to secrets, which could lead to “information that could be used in cyber attacks or spying recruitment attempts”.
Apparently, that wasn’t the only reason that Pokemon GO has stressed out Pentagon officials. A Pokemon Gym showed up near the Pentagon, earlier on in the app’s release. The gym eventually disappeared.

Someone clue me in. Why does this guy always talk like a weird computer?
You are looking at the head of the Metroid branch Nintendo Military Squadron. You would do best not to forget this.
Someone with a working brain want to tell me instead?
He’s been here for years. Supposably this is his final form or something he used to type without the stupid | | , but id your going to be a part of this site you better get used to it. He’s not the only character here lol.
if*
I noticed.
Yup there are a lot of litteral drones here,love.
||No one cared who I was until I put on my head…||
Understandable.
I like the idea of Obama playing Pokemon Go for some reason. Imagine if they had kept the Pentagon gym and Obama was gym leader.
That’s IF he’s allowed to have an Android or iOS device (he can’t).
For security reasons I would assume. Those things seem to have very poor security systems.
Yes, it’s for security reasons. Then again, Android and iOS’ security are just as good as Blackberry’s (and there’s no backdoor compared to Android and iOS), so I don’t really see a reason why the Executive branch can’t switch over to them; most of the government agencies are.
He’s not a weird computer, he’s the first order Commander Quadraxis!
