The dilemma

When various governments raise objections

To the easy access to geospatial information for security reasons

Especially by online providers of such information,

We demand liberated and conducive policy ambience.

On the other hand, we also express concerns,

When privacy of individuals are intruded

By such and similar technology providers.

However, shrugging off the ‘security concerns of the states’

And raising the ‘privacy issues of the individuals’

Sometimes poses a challenge to be consistent in our stance,

And exposes the dilemmas and contradictions.
