Planet Keeps Middle East Satellite Imagery Limits Ahead of Ceasefire Talks

Planet Labs PBC is continuing to restrict satellite imagery of parts of the Middle East during a fragile ceasefire as it reviews the data policy with authorities in Washington.

“We are maintaining our current crisis policies while we actively evaluate the situation in collaboration with the US government,” a Planet spokesperson said in an emailed statement Friday. “We are all anxious to return to a policy that restores access to all our customers while limiting risk of misuse of our data.”
