      If politicians had advisors then how would they justify doing the dumb shit their owners want them to, then they can’t plead ignorance.

      How about locking all the advanced functions behind a hardware lock that requires an online key to unlock? Besides getting an IP address for geolocation, this approach would enable manufacturers to put a subscription on the features as well. Require users to provide a government issued ID that matches the name on the credit card used.

      VPN! I hear you cry. But the driver is already running pretty close to the hardware, so good luck hiding a VPN client.

      So while you can’t guarantee a street address accuracy, you can get country and overall regional subdivision.
