i think you misunderstood the resolution, i sent you an example of my
then-current location, which was much higher precision than 750m. in fact it
was very precisely fitting the house where i was at that time. i'd say 30x30m?

also i wonder if the "social solution" is not the result of social pressure,
marketing and the users/abused suffering from information asymmetry.
