Pokemon Go

DISCLAIMER: I AM NOT A PROFESSIONAL NOR DO I CLAIM ANY OF THESE CONSPIRACIES TO BE TRUE. IF YOU ARE EASILY OFFENDED BY CONSPIRACY THEORIES PLEASE CLOSE OUT THIS BLOG.

Okay so I never realized how many conspiracy theories there were revolving around this game until my fiance was showing me a post about all of them. Some of them are pretty funny, and some could actually make sense. Today I want to share two that I have found that are just so horribly ridiculous and hilarious I couldn't help it.

Theory 1:

So this first theory is all about the government and I can't believe that this is even a thing...

Apparently certain Pokemon Go players believe the United States teamed up with Japan to come up with a good way to get Americans to lose weight.

Now I have no idea who could have came up with this, but I personally find this HILARIOUS.

Theory 2:

So this next theory I laughed so hard I couldn't breathe after. This theory states that Pokemon Go was created by Michelle Obama to get children outside to loose weight. I mean.....I'm just gonna leave that here....

Theory 3:

Now this theory is the one I found the most information on, it seems to be the most popular theory. This theory states that Pokemon go was created to spy on users by the CIA. 

Gawker which is a website that is now shut down (wonder who did that?) pointed out while it was still around that Pokemon GO’s user agreement gives the game access to your location, camera and entire Google account. That's like a crazy amount of information to give to some game. 

Niantic, is a company founded by John Hanke, a software pioneer who has ties to the U.S. intelligence community. Well, not close ties, necessarily. His previous company, Keyhole Inc., got funding from the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency, which does sophisticated mapping for combat and intelligence functions.

So I will say that I figured all of these were bullshit until I tried to go to gawker today to get the info I had read a long time ago. I have used gawker in the past and always found pretty interesting things on it. but here have a look at the website now. Gawker

Pretty interesting.... Anywayyyy Remember as always to leave your favorite conspiracy theory in the comments below and also let me know what you want me to talk about next.
