Why not just sending someone a link to an image on your website?
You grab the IP address and are probably closer to the actual location with less work.
Or would Signal proxy the image?
Then, you need to just send a link. The user clicks (1 click attack) and you get the IP address…
yes, ok, but the 0 click reveals that I’m probably living in Germany (I just kind of doxed myself) and the IP can reveal the city or village I’m living in and if you cantact my ISP as law enforcement, you could probably find out my name and address…
But ok, the post is probably a bit of clickbait, because you can’t do much with the information you get from this method.
I don’t get it?

Most platforms proxy media shared.
Then your proposed workaround is still 1 click more than the reported one.
