Went to Misinfocon yesterday. Haven't been to an event like this in Bangalore for so long! Learnt so much about what people are building to mitigate and educate around cyber scams, deep fakes and general lack of trust.

I sat down with @geospatial.money to discuss #LAfires and disaster response. TL;DR we invest $10s of billions in building, launching, and operating EO satellites. Isn't it time we allocate just 1% of that to improving user access, open data, tools, and dissemination?
