    Justin Sherman at CSIS writes that the U.S.–Iran war and Russia’s war on Ukraine show how little a government can control adversary use of commercial geolocation, satellite imagery, social media, and OSINT-plus-AI products. He argues for limiting the sliver that can actually be limited, including data-broker sales and operational security, and for obfuscating the rest.
