Hey there TJ,

I have, and unfortunately the databases listed there are reporting the
location correctly. It seems to be an issue specifically with Facebook from
what I'm able to diagnose. I've been reached out to by someone from their
network team regarding this so will update this thread when/if it gets
resolved.

Hey all,

Recently a customer reached out to us regarding an IP of ours in Canada
that Facebook is somehow placing within China, despite our geolocation in
other databases showing up correctly as they're ingesting our geofeeds as
we had requested.

Does anyone know which geolocation databases Facebook uses, and if
possible a contact at Meta we can reach out to so that this can be
investigated further?

Thanks in advance!

Peter Potvin | Executive Director
