Precaution - Latitude/Longitude Transmission #22

Open James-Firth opened 9 years ago

James-Firth commented 9 years ago

Just glanced at this project and it looks neat!

Only took a quick skim at the code so I'm not sure how you're determining the "Anon is X miles away" number, but just wanted to note that if you just sent the location eg "Orange, CA" (as in #17 ) that seems like it would be better than sending the lat/lon.

If you send lat/lon triangulation via the API makes stalking easy as seen here in this blog about Tinder: http://blog.includesecurity.com/2014/02/how-i-was-able-to-track-location-of-any.html

@James-Firth we plan on sending only the city "Orange, CA" like you recommended. Where is it that you found the text "anon is x miles away" so that i can replace that language.

Thanks so much!

Great! It's in the readme and the pdf with the mockups.
