(1/2) This one is in German and currently behind a paywall, but we'll share it anyway:
@ct_Magazin / @heiseonline have taken our #geolocation and #verification tool SPOT for a test drive – and published a long article about it:
It's great to see leading tech journalists take an interest in our work.
The clue that unlocked the geolocation was this post:

Almost 100% it is right here:
46.914275, -110.706199
Road up to a ski resort, same bend in the river, same trees, same treeline.
Let's geolocate this... A little bit of squinting and I did a search for "Singh Construction", with no matches... but then found an exact logo match to Singh Contracting Group in Colorado Springs. So, we're now talking an accident in Colorado Springs. (Update: Montana!)

..we were able to identify several individuals. This was made possible, among other things, by the so-called Mobile Advertising ID, which is a unique identifier for the online advertising industry that Google and Apple automatically assign to each phone.
Each location in our data sets is linked to such an ID. This allows loose data points to be combined to form detailed movement profiles.
