Tupai

Tupai (Tahitian: Tūpai), also called Motu Iti, is a low-lying atoll in Society Islands, French Polynesia. It lies 19 km to the north of Bora Bora and belongs to the western Leeward Islands (French: Îles Sous-le-vent). This small atoll is only 11 km² in area. Its broad coral reef encloses a shallow sandy lagoon. There are almost continuous long wooded motus on Tupai's reef. Tupai has no permanent residents apart from some workers in the coconut plantations. There is a private airfield on Tupai; it was inaugurated in 2001, and its use is restricted.

In 1926 the island was considered for settling a small community of Slovak colonists but was later dropped in favor of the Marquesas Islands

gollark: Giving one company access to people's accurate location history, conversations, emails and whatnot could probably lead to problems.
gollark: Presumably, somewhat creepy overtargeted advertising, spread it further (which I don't really like in itself), probably (if I was weird and still used Google stuff on my phone) listen into my conversations.
gollark: Thing is, what I'm attempting to say is: what sort of bad things do you think people or companies could do with leaked or bought or whatever data?
gollark: Google does, if not much else, have, as far as I know, a good track record for not letting other people get their precious datas.
gollark: I was asking Solar, but yes, that's actually sensible I guess.
