This new piece co-authored by the Citizen Lab’s Gabrielle Lim discusses the risks of privatized space technology. She and her co-authors highlight that the issue is not private-sector involvement, but the concentration of power in the hands of a few private firms that are “incentivized to serve the surveillance state and further a new kind of space military-industrial complex.”
