      “Leak”

      Bro the data is being stolen for fucking criminals. Call this crime what is.

      You got threat actors using contract law in bad faith to exploit stupid, poorly educated peasants

      But hey good thing they got nothing to hide 🤡

    I’ve got several hits, but none of them have permission to request my location. If I understand the README correctly, that should mean I’m safe, right?

        True, but at that point, every website I’ll ever visit and have visited in the past might be a threat, so that doesn’t really matter too much to me.

          In that sense, you are right. However, there are ways to cloak your IP address and location.

          Privacy is a massive rabbit hole depending on what threat you are trying to protect yourself from. Sometimes, the effort (and the stuff that breaks along the way) isn’t worth it.

          If location implies an area extending 300 km in either direction, does it really matter? To most people, not really.
