DeepState UA has stated that it has not granted any betting service permission to integrate with their DeepStateMap. The team emphasized that they are not associated with the platform that claimed to have "connected" to their data. The project considers the use of the map in war betting to be entirely unacceptable.
At DeepState, it is believed that the external resource may have accessed the data either through a free API provided for humanitarian and military purposes or via scrapers. Due to ongoing unauthorized attempts to use the data, the team has tightened API controls and switched to individual keys.
Following the public statement by DeepState UA, the Pentagon Pizza Watch service (responsible for this integration) issued an apology and announced the complete removal of the feature. The service stated that it "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 via Pentagon Pizza Watch triggered public outrage and a response from DeepState UA.
