I’m sorry but business success aside, how else do you propose to do it? Require them to go outside and take a panoramic video including their face that somehow also captures third-party information about the date and time and then feed it into geoguessr?
- harimau777 2y agoI think the problem is that laws that are trying to force morality on people.
- ryandrake 2y agoThe general problem is that web site X doesn't know if user Y lives in state Z. And most of the realistic ways to allow them to know this are huge PII disasters waiting to happen. This has nothing to do with morality. If states wanted to ban HN, it would be just as ridiculous. Using IP address is about as pointless as using your mobile phone's area code.
- numpad0 2y agoNo, the problem is unchecked moral panicking. IP geoblocking is mitigation.
- Digory 2y agoAll laws force morality on people.
- itake 2y agoCouple thoughts: 1/ if the company can’t meet the regulations, it can’t exist. 2/ if there is wiggle room of “as long as you tried your best, then it’s ok”, then requesting gps location, nearby wifi nodes, and banning traffic from data centers, then that would be better.
