As a part of the project to publish user location to hubs, we will be migrating existing user location data to match the criteria that new location data must satisfy and publishing it to hubs. New location data is restricted to ~city level granularity and sublocalities (e.g. Brooklyn, NY) will not be presented as options. If your location is set to e.g. Brooklyn, NY we will make an attempt to translate it to the encompassing city (e.g. New York, NY).

Warpcast is now pushing (public) location data to Hubs since FIP: Location in profiles went live. 

A small change we had to make is adjust the "rounding" of locations displayed on the profile. Previously we allowed city-level (e..g New York) and sub-city level (e.g. Brooklyn). 

Going forward Warpcast will standardize on city-level. So if you previously selected Brooklyn it will now reflect as new york (sorry)

How does standardizing location data to city-level affect user privacy?

How does the city-level location standard enhance user privacy?

Positively. Less precision means more privacy.
