🏝️ Florida sues Roku for illegally selling children’s data, including precise geolocation

｢ By selling the personal data — which included children’s viewing habits and voice recordings, in combination with precise geolocation data — Roku is allowing ostensibly deidentified data to be linked to specific individuals, Uthmeier said. In addition to selling the data to brokers, Roku also peddles it to advertisers, according to the complaint ｣

Hmm, this one will be a challenge. This restaurant chain went out of business in the 1980's. Maybe still have a Mobil in the same location, though. #geolocation #spinaltap

So, first step -- get a better photo of what we're looking for. Amazingly, you can do a screen grab and then change the contrast of the image in an image editor, and it works. So now we're hoping for a Mobile next to a big billboard... those things don't change much. And a restaurant nearby. The only issue is if an area has been redeveloped since 1987. No large buildings in the background, and the light is to the right, so we are looking south. #geolocation (light is from sunlight, sunset on clouds)

LOL that's around here. (Hidden Valley) #geolocation

The subtitle icons themselves function as buttons, which re-direct to a note that is generated via a template containing a geomap widget, and the coordinates as the note title, stored when either of the two ViewToolbar buttons is pressed.

Now the subtitle—in addition to showing the timestamps—contains a location pin icon for the origin GPS coordinates, and a globe icon for the last modified version GPS coordinates.

These are set manually, just to keep things more intentional and optimized, via two new ViewToolbar buttons: fetch current coordinates (for the most recent coordinates) … and set created coordinates, which will populate fields for a tiddler's origin coords.
