Well I'm fairly sure the North Korean government would not be happy at us being able to view their nuclear sites, but they're not a friend of the U.S. so I guess different rules for them...?
And would silicon valley be invaded?!....Hmm I doubt it very much. More likely to be invaded by the U.S. military as it is a United States law which prohibits such data from being published...
But I dunno, I don't make the rules, I just follow them
