Description

South Korea's about to decide whether Google and Apple can export super-detailed map data, a move that could revolutionize navigation and tech innovation but also raises major national security concerns. Will the government prioritize leveling the playing field for global tech giants, or will fears of exposing sensitive sites to North Korea keep the high-resolution maps locked down? The decision, expected around November 11th, balances digital sovereignty against the potential for smart city advancements and tourism boosts.
