Not sure what you mean?

I’m not very technical. Location data from what, if that makes sense?

I too am curious to know where the location data is from.

How did people have geo-coordinates in their notes? Did they post their note knowing that it was doxxing their general or exact location?

Yea the notes have a 'g' tag which is like GPS position with a certain accuracy, only a few clients support adding this

Cool. I was just trying to ascertain how the g tag was derived (I.e. from IP address and/or GPS and/or network signal?) so that I can act accordingly to prevent this šŸ˜…

Usually GPS position using one of the position API's its not some kind of automatic tagging, its usually something the poster actively chooses to add to the post

Ah I see. Good to know.

Which clients support g tag? And how are the g tags derived?

If ur utiluzing g-tag ur obviously part of the problem
