Geotargeting And The Slippery Slope To Fragmenting The Internet With Localized Censorship

April 5th, 2012

FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda

…that there are fixed, knowable relationships between IP addresses and the locations of networks, hosts, and people.

There aren’t.

Oh, the people flogging their fraudulent geolocation “services” like to pretend that there are, because there are plenty of gullible, stupid people willing to pay them for their made-up information, but anyone who actually understands IP, routing, forwarding, tunnels, dynamic addressing, and such knows this is nonsense.

I am sitting, at this moment, in location A. I’m connected back to one of my home systems at location B, to two at work at location C, to a remote server at D, to another remote server at E, and I’m tunneled into a non-server host at F. I’m thus sending and receiving packets from 6 different locations in 5 different states. Those could just as easily be 5 different countries. It is beyond stupid, it is set-yourself-on-fire idiocy to claim that any of these “geolocate” me or that I should be subject to the arbitrary whims of the network-illiterate legislators in any of those.
