What granularity do you think satellites shoot at?
If you are truly unable to divine the answer to your question from the article from a reputable source that talks about the privacy implications of satellites that can track individual human movements I am happy to spell it out for you:
I don’t think, I know that satellites are capable of tracking individual human movements. There are specialized satellites for different types of information gathering, such as those that can identify an individual by their biometrics (https://www.technologyreview.com/2019/06/27/238884/the-pentagon-has-a-laser-that-can-identify-people-from-a-distanceby-their-heartbeat/). Combine that with imaging in the electromagnetic spectrum, the infrared spectrum, on-the ground spies, unauthorised access to local network infrastructure (hacking), and you can pretty quickly figure out if you’re looking at a hundred thousand people in an area, or a million.
Honestly, this is pretty easy stuff to research. Did you just not bother, or?
You’re not looking at the other comments before replying. Understandably, since it’s a long thread, but I’d recommend you start reading from the first comment
An opinion piece with no quantitative analysis? Nice.

It’s called context.
Your replies make no sense. If you’re not a troll, work on that. If you are a troll, well… 🤡
