As a user, I want to be able to access any website online without providing them my location data (even approximate). As a user, I want to be able to pay or donate to a company or individual without providing them my identity or location data. This is already an extremely hard thing to do because of tax laws like VAT. Please don't make it harder for me. As an activist, I want everyone to use technology that by-default masks their physical location from websites they access. I want them to feel free not to provide their physical location to anyone online, including businesses like Facebook. As an activist, I want the majority of popular online payment systems to avoid revealing a buyer's physical location by default, and I want users to feel free to not provide their physical location when paying for a digital product or giving money to another individual. This is already a (nearly) impossible goal because of the sheer amount of tax and money-laundering laws that need to be addressed first. Please don't make it harder. Laws that force websites to geo-lock based on consumer location are going to be (in the long run) bad for privacy and bad for the open Internet. I don't care about what businesses do or don't want, but the strategies we use to take down advertisers and data-hungry corporations matter. My less-charitable reading of this situation is that people are generally fine with using user-location as an indicator of jurisdiction because the laws working on that principle are primarily pro-privacy right now. If these laws were being passed in other areas, I wonder if people would be more nervous about the precedent they set.
