- I saw no reason to share that due to its personal nature. This was someone I had called friend. One of the names I said it hurt to see.

- They pinged me to say "nice job with the crew. Allow me to explain."

- Either way, it was bound to come out. It hasn't been detrimental to me, nor do I anticipate it being so. Andrew is aware of my involvement and I don't think I've done anything wrong in helping make this happen. I have not posted anything "publicly", and I have not commented anywhere. That satisfies the terms of my contract.

- I'm sorry. It really is awful to lose friends like this, and to feel unsafe πŸ’š

- I'll live. Did I miss anything crucial in backlog?

- Any mandatory reading from @Semiotiq

You know, the usual TGR mantra

- Damn it

- ?

- TGR and it's spin offs are issuing me more homework than my PhD classes

- We can call you Dr Catw0man1 if it helps

- Lol

- I'm not sure it's accurate, but it was said that Niantic stopped accepting Intel connections from AWS. If true, we may have actually shut the thing down. For now

- Now's the time to get your guardian. Lol

- From the more savvy on this: every time they do a map update there's a window between it and when the coders adjust the scraping tools that can be anywhere from hours to a day or two where you can plant undetected

- That was a terrible sentence but hopefully it makes sense

- I just backlogged really fast so I apologise if I missed this. Is there a pr spin regarding guardian we can put on this to a wider audience that makes sense? "Beloved game with fatal flaw, leads to massive rule breaking"?

- Or something. Is there a hook that would lead to more widespread exposure and more pressure on Niantic? And if so what is it? The scale of the scraping? The fact that guardian makes no sense with the rest of the game? The fact
that WB came forward?

- I have had no coffee so have no idea if this is a good idea. But is there a way to give this traction in the ingress or gaming world equivalent to athletes doping in sports? Players having an unfair advantage and what should Niantic do about it?

- What’s the latest news on Scrapergate? @theprevaricator 🐸

- I'm also getting tagged in posts now. :/

- By people who saw you at the van events?

- The only people who knew you were involved work for Niantic.

- We can't swear Niantic to secrecy and we also can't assume any room this large keeps secrets

- Hrm telegram won’t load from 1a to 8a. :/

Nadia sorry to hear you are catching grief.

Necro - what do we expect? I’d like to see bans for the agents involved in the anatomy of a hit and substantial timeouts for everyone else but that’s highly unlikely.

Niantic - Id bet dollars to donuts the dump leaked to the res from Niantic and would enjoy seeing them squirm trying to explain it.

- Well they have employees on both teams

- I don’t see how that is a mitigating factor.

- I can see them discussing it at Niantic headquarters. And word goes out quick

- I reeeeaaaally like this

- Why are we even certain that there was a leak? We told Andrew, he was probably obligated to tell whoever his boss is or send out an email to people. Other Niantic employees play, they hear about it or see an email and go into Delete Fucking Everything mode

- No leak other than what we did ourselves

- The information was also shared to NIA Ops at their request before release. Subsequent to that but prior to the release they go into lockdown.

- I knew the risks

- If Niantic is asking for the information, presumably in confidence, how does it get to the RES?

- We did that, too. Who runs the Nia ops profile?

- I've always been hunted and doxxed anyway

- So this is nothing new

- Hell, this is easier than when I posted the fact that I was gifted a BRRN coin.

- I don't know enough about marketing and pr to k ow what the hook is, but maybe there is something

- They tried to hack my school email. Lol

- Its a nice coin πŸ˜‚

- You're not wrong

- The smurf tears on that one were epic

- So were the threats. πŸ˜•

- But yeah, I'm starting to get tagged as people keep posting. Like me, Andrew, Nia Ops, Ethan....etc

- Positive posts or horse shit?

- "Do something" posts

- I think a nod to guardians as the top of the slippery slope is fine but the emphasis needs to be on the granularity and invasiveness of the tracking of actual human beings in real life.

- "Nadia is the most powerful and well connected person I know! Nadia please fix this!"

- Lol, kind of like that

- Oh, well

- Like I said, no regrets

- That's much better than "Nadia Y U Do Dis"

- I thought they were implicating you in the exposΓ©

- That happened in a Res chat

- Sorry, 2 separate instances

- Oh this is funny....

- Ready?

- From same Res agent who realized I was involved....

- [[Photo]]

- Lmao

- Lolol

- Yeah, because that's TOTALLY the problem

- Please don't share those outside this chat.

- Just curious, evidence like them saying that, does that have any weight in Niantic eyes on the validity of everything? Also would it mean that guy is admitting he's in in and involved? I mean that's gonna get him banhammerred right?

- Chris - Sorry to hear about your locals. Hope everything is safe.

- Doing the backlog dance but this caught my eye. @vedorian, that's fucked. Anything I can do, man, let me know.

- Yes, perhaps that is the story with WB's pov and what prompted them to come forward.

- With acknowledgement that both sides use tools like this.

- And pointing a light back to Niantic to make a change?

- Before yesterday I didn't know enl.wtf existed. I saw one screen grab on g+ from June 2016 and it looks very similar to riot.one... With itso9's name on the list and his faction change due to not having the creative freedom he wanted... It makes a girl wonder.

- His name is on the list and he's already been banned once

- I've turned over several additional items directly to Andrew

- Ummmmmmmmmmm

- ??

- Like in school when kids know someone's getting in trouble

- Yeah, I've given Andrew his name. Doing so here would be that doxxing thing you guys are talking about, yes?

- I'm still a little fuzzy on that other than knowing it's when people give up your personal info. Do I have that right?

- Also, one of the Res PoCs for tonight's meet up was an admin of RIOT.

- 😐

- So I have that to look forward to
