 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 😅 
 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 
 ? I'm trying to avoid g-tags 
 I meant for devolpers to see this 
 what problem are you referring to?
