This is ridiculous. You can provide location based search results without storing the IP address. Every web request has an origin IP standard. If you want you change that, use a VPN. Granted it would be nice to turn off location based results if you want to but for most users it’s preferred.

This article is a lot of hand wringing for nothing.
