Drone Strikes and Extrajudicial killings? There's an app for that!
Now, it may be possible to keep track of the global war on terror in
real time using a new app that lets you keep track of the latest U.S.
drone strikes, though its developers warn it is not an app for the faint
of heart.
The app, called "Dronestagram," is part of a new
project that utilizes the popular photo-sharing app
Instagram "to shed
light on one of the more shadowy aspects of modern warfare," says
Time
magazine.
The report says the
images that come through the Dronestagram app aren't pretty or something
you would "share" online with friends. But, says founder
James Bridle,
that's not really the point anyway.
"It's a way of visualizing
what some people want to hide, but by changing the medium, I'm putting
it where people are already spending time," he told the magazine. "It
radically increases access and visibility."
