"RIOT is a database that aggregates scraped comms data.
Using it, Resistance agents can query:
- all the portals belonging to a specified agent, including the dates on which those portals were captured
- upcoming Guardian portal candidates for a given region
- an agent's home portal and start date
Additional applications exist that enable authorized RES agents to:
- launch their own distributed scraping engines
- receive real time alerts on data not available via intel review, such as VRLA and hack mod deployment
- identify clusters of L7 and L8 portals (farms)
The functionality that drives these features and their use are violations of the Niantic Terms of Service.
A minimum of 680 RES agents are currently making use of these features. They include Niantic employees, Vanguards, and anomaly POCs.
Here are some examples:

- Spike (crewellye -PIT β) My only suggestion in the polish as I am currently nearly if not completely asleep.. is the language need a to be simple non geek if we want impact on the community at large, remember many non connected players my not understand scrapping and other terms contained therein, I know myself had I not become connected with a group I would not have a clue about POC and the implications. Short explanations should be included. Especially for location data or heat maps. Excuse my rambling but the backlash connection that kind of Data available if the same was extracted for Pogo the implications of kids safety goes far.

A couple points that dont make sense for the website but should accompany the announcement post.
A) Yes, some enl probably do it too, but nothing on this scale.
B) No really, nothing remotely like this.
C) There will always be tools. If this thing collapses, something else will take its place.
D) Resistance needs to collectively grow the fuck up and knock this shit off.
