GrapheneOSPositon (https://positon.xyz/) is a geolocation service closely tied to a group of people targeting our team with harassment. We urge people to avoid submitting their sensitive location data to this service. People involved in it have supported doxxing and swatting attacks.
They intend to lock people in to the service by keeping a lot of the data proprietary. They've repeatedly talked about locking people into it and avoiding having alternatives to it. Their priority is having control and ownership of data while sabotaging decentralized approaches.
Matija Nalis@GrapheneOS If I understand you correctly you claim that Positon.xyz have "repeatedly talked about locking people into it and avoiding having alternatives to it"? Could you provide URLs to several of those messages? I've tried DDG-ing SkewedZeppelin (that you mention later in the thread) and Positon, but apparently I'm not that good at searching...

It's based on private chat logs.

That was in reference to /e/OS, the major backer of this service and their upcoming "libre" rebrand of it.
