No, Pokémon Go Can't Read Your Email
The inevitable Pokémon Go security video. With many thanks to Simon Coxall - / mushybees - for the wonderful not-Pokémon illustrations, and to Sheila for holding the camera at very short notice! Here's the wonderful breakdown of the technical details by Ari Rubinstein: gist.github.co...
And have you, or someone you know, would like a guest slot for Things You Might Know or Amazing Places while I'm off in the Arctic, have a look at www.tomscott.c... for more details!

So the "security issue" that I was made aware of was that you gave the app access to your camera, and then it's taking pictures of your surrounding area and possibly noting security flaws that you haven't. Obviously my company security department was the only one particularly concerned with that one, but still good to keep in mind.
Tom, it's really cool that you're essentially lending your channel to fans while you're away! I rather admire that, well done! Keep up the good work!
This can be summed up by a movie misquote "Well yes, but actually no"
that extra level of production value that goes into your videos that always amazes me often times isnt put toward your visual effects but instead your on-screen skills. It must take a stupid number of tries to finally get that one perfect explanation all in one take and thats what makes your videos really special.
“But just me talking to the camera for a few minutes isn’t particularly interesting” no. you are wrong good sir.
Should have called them "Fauxkémon".
“Part turtle part arse” funniest thing ever
"part turtle part arse" yeah that sounds like a pretty reasonable pokemon
4:39 I imagined "cock up before conspiracy" quite differently to Tom's explanation. Quite differently indeed.
Realising how this video was posted 4 years ago and that pokemon go is 4 years old make me feel really old

It's actually completely allowed under Fair Use due to the Transformative clause if the video adds any new commentary, ideas etc. to the footage of the game. Tom Scott would have done that just fine with his content, so that's not the problem. The problem is that Nintendo is a headache with their unnecessary copyright claiming of any video that even breathes the name of their games, which isn't okay, but most people just don't even want to deal with it.

Also I'm pretty sure the British Rocket Program did static rocket tests at RAF Spadeadam for Bluestreak (never been and would be a bit more of a faff than just filming somewhere in public) Regardless of if I'm involved in videos or not, I do wish you the best luck on your expedition to the Arctic Tom!
