On the google group at least here and I believe elsewhere there has been a desire expressed to have geoprivacy = obscured observations obscure not just the location but also the date so that they can't be located by looking at nearby observations.

This proposal is to address this by stripping the time so that obscured observations could only be located to the day of the observation but not the exact time.

This would be a great change to make. I've done this manually for some of my sensitive observations.

Since no one has responded to my questions here: https://groups.google.com/d/msg/inaturalist/lQ1MGeDK648/h6atI4LiBAAJ
I guess we're going with hiding month-day but leaving month?

Obscuring by month sounds AWESOME. Please add. One issue I foresee is sorting observations by "date-time submitted", so this obscuration should be added there too.

I agree that obscuring by day would be great.

I believe this has been implemented by #3142 .
