DeepState UA has announced that no betting service has been granted permission to use the DeepStateMap. The team emphasized that they have no connection to the platform that claimed to be "integrating" with their data. The project considers the use of the map for war betting unacceptable.
DeepState believes that a third-party resource may have accessed their data either through a free API provided for humanitarian and military purposes, or via web scrapers. Due to ongoing attempts to misuse their data, the team has strengthened API control and moved to personalized keys.
Following DeepState UA's public statement, the Pentagon Pizza Watch service, which is behind this integration, issued an apology and announced the complete removal of the feature. The service stated that it had "mistakenly assumed" that the public endpoint could be used freely and promised not to access DeepState data without explicit permission again.
Pentagon Pizza Watch is a project based on Polyglobe and is used by traders for betting on Polymarket, where prediction markets related to war events are created. The emergence of DeepStateMap data in these markets through Pentagon Pizza Watch sparked public outrage and a response from DeepState UA.
