There are satellites watching various important events all over the world right now. Satellites that we the public have no access to.

So instead of seeing the events for ourselves we get news from various totally untrustworthy and manipulative news things.

If we could access the satellites then we could see for ourselves, or at least seriously fact check the news things.

I think this would make things better, how about you?

    What you need to realize about those satellites is that the image sensors are nowhere near large enough to cover everything below them. The have lenses that need to be pointed at things to take useful images. Just having access to those images their only gives you half of what you need. And control c can not be made public. There are so many conflicting interests that they’d never do anything useful that way anymore.
