Overall, geo location has turned out to be a somewhat valuable tool in terms of language, fraud, and localization. I think that it's important to continue to urge improvements in this technology, not divestment.
I don't see how this technology can be improved past a certain point, because the criteria that are used to determine location are only coincidentally tied to location (they are the result of administrative policy and/or configuration). At best, they provide a false sense of "security". --gregbo
