If power plants and bridges are targeted, would imagery of that be released “on a case-by-case basis for urgent, mission-critical requirements or in the public interest?” Is there any recourse for the media to seek an exemption?

If a hedge fund bought an earth imagery provider and traded on imagery they are “requested” not to release, is that insider trading?
