Just to be clear, there is a huge difference between saying I'm in Japan (which I am happy to shout out to anybody) and saying exactly where I am to a precision of a few meters. What I'm saying is that they need to provide tools that allows the user to specify the former (which I'm pretty sure they can determine without even asking their user's device) without specifying the latter. The reason they want the latter is because they can easily get it and once they have it, it is valuable for other reasons. For Ultra Wide Band it's even easier because the actual phone manufacturer has control over the dang thing. Got an active SIM connection in an allowed country? Good to go. Even building your GPS system such that it can determine if it is in a UWB allowed country without divulding where it is would be absolutely trivial. I really can go on and on with potential solutions that do not divulge a user's positions. They just don't care about the user's privacy. That's the entire point.
