Or a good one, forcing governments to have robust infrastructure that this info isn't useful. Similar reasoning as with security and open source software.

Most of this physical infrastructure is trivially identifiable in Google Maps.

someone having ability to precisely target other country likely would not be stopped much by need to find power plants themselves

while such open data has also positive effects

have you considered both? it is not like deleting power plant from single map would hide it

Berlin, Germany just had a blackout because a left from centre organisation decided to set an electric exchange on fire. Right over new years and at a very cold time of year.

Apparently the data on where the exchange was and how it would affect the surrounding neighbourhoods was openly available. The neighbourhoods affect were largely affluent.

It’s probably also the reason why this is being reshared.
