I can associate your npub to your IP and get your locations and movements. I can do that to Damus users right now. I won't do it out of respect, but there is such a large set of possible ways to do it that I can't imagine this being something we could realistically prevent across the board.

Doesn’t a vpn solve this issue?
Once you discover I’m on the toilet, how does it feel?
I could only discover the location of your IP range, like country and city, not quite each toilet. But maybe I could skill up to that level... nah.
Out of curiosity, where did it say? Would be good to know if this VPN works.
I didn't do it to you. I made a video explaining how to do it, but I'm not sure I should post it. I don't want to give tools to stalkers.
Fair enough, I watched the video, thanks for the explanation, admittedly most of it went over my head but I think I got the gist.
I hope my VPN works as expected, it seems a popular choice with the more security focussed people I follow.
I go from the baseline that there’s very little security on any network. Good to know the tools that can at least minimise risks. Cheers!
Is this what we are basically saying here is that iPhoners are so hypnotized they don't use VPNs or can't use VPNs on their phone? This is starting to finally make more sense to me why they're freaking out about how the Internet works..
Of course they won't install another app or configure a VPN. They're zero configers. 🐑
But this information was never meant to be secret. I myself told where I am. If I wanted to hide it, I would have used Tor or a VPN.
