Hello All,
For those of you who use the application Snapchat, some of you may know how to 'mask' or fake your location. While this in itself isn't that big of a challenge, this allows you to not only use the fake locations geofilters -- but also will place you at that location on your 'Snapmap'. (A map showing you where you and your friends are located).
Naturally, I wanted to mask my location to make it look like I was in North Korea. It works -- so I can use N. Korea's geofilters, and it puts me there on the snap map. I put myself in Pyongyang, North Korea.
While looking around the map, I noticed that there are absolutely no snapchat stories in North Korea -- none. There are loads in South Korea, and China, but none in North Korea. Why is that?
I have read that the majority of North Korea makes little money monthly -- maybe a couple hundred dollars. I have also read that there are only about a THOUSAND ip addresses in the country total. That would explain how there would be little users in the region, but what about the rest? The higher class privileged North Koreans? I think I have found seven korean soldiers you can even add on snapchat. Also, my location is set to pyongyang.. so there should definitely be some activity there -- alas, no contact.
Any insight as to why I am seeing no activity here would be greatly appreciated. Also, any thoughts as to what I should do with the location?
- Cheers.
