news of the day IV

Apparently, when rigs start a new well they, sometimes, want to keep their location secret... to the point that they can cut all phone and internet communications for a while. Nothing coming or going... to make sure no one blabs about it to their wife and kids who, of course, happen to be spies for the Communists or other oil companies...

I'm wondering though... isn't a big massive cube of metal, with a 100m tower stuck in the middle of it, loaded with shiny bright lights blarring 24/7, floating in the middle of a flat ocean, kind of a spoiler?
Haven't they heard of Google Earth? anybody with a computer can zoom in on this place in about 2 and a half seconds... plus there are supply boats and helicopters stopping by twice a day... are they blindfolding the pilots and giving them instructions in the headset as they go?

... what I mean by this is DON'T YOU DARE TAKE MY INTERNET AWAY IF WE MOVE THIS THING SOMEWHERE ELSE, OKAY?!!! >:(
