Today around 12:00pm EDT, a post was uploaded to r/whenthe by u/concussionmaker_91 about how despite their multiple privacy measures, Reddit was still able to ping their location and show them an ad about a business in close proximity to their house. Then, in less than 2 hours after the post when live, their year old account was permanently banned. 
Redditors in the comment section used a website called SnooSnoop to see if this account has done anything malicious in the past that may be grounds for a ban only to find nothing. 
I don’t think this is a mere coincidence and some comments I read on the post may be there to dismiss the situation.
I’m currently working on archiving the post and comments in case Reddit decides to try and erase this entire situation from the web, I’ll attach the files when I do.
way to complicated, the reddit app just checks what wifi is connected, and then send the SSID and probably the MAC adress to the reddit servers, they then compare that info the a global map of know wifi locations (created by multiple sources like google street cars, apps that collect that data, amazon ring devices etc) and then they have the location down to something like 30m.
30 miles covers a lot of potential users.
What about wired connections? I guess I fail to remember, a lot of people use their phones as a mobile compute platform, which I very rarely do, and certainly not a Reddit app.
I think he means 30meters. miles is mi.
yes
