Tweets were geolocated, with a 'see tweets near me' page until about 14 years ago, so it's entirely feasible that at least some of that infrastructure has survived the feature being removed.

"Tweets near me" was based on people sharing geolocation with Twitter (one of the things you can opt-out of when setting up your profile).

I didn't share any geolocation with Twitter. At least not voluntarily.
