First known Perma ban

Italian to English: Your account has been banned for use of third party applications to alter the real /actual position of the GPS.
Thoughts?
Not clear on what he did or how many times he got soft banned.
But now we know Niantic is looking out for this.

That someone was able to datamine the screen from within the game. There is no information that anyone was banned.

That's what the original post I saw said. It didn't make any claims that anyone was actually banned

It's a fake: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7qKcJF4fOPs
What was funny is watching people on Reddit or elsewhere jizz themselves over the picture, the same people who probably pirate stuff or do other potentially questionable things are suddenly righteously indignant and morally superior over some GPS spoofing.
It's not even a competitive game, I don't know what their problem is. Then again these are probably the same people who defend Niantic and their shitty server infrastructure and lack of planning.

Besides this being obviously fake; Is the app even released with a localized italian version or is it released using english around the world?

I am not sure that it is a fake, the last days many twitchStreamer got reported for GPS spoofing. Maybe they really looked into it
