IP address and physical addess
 
This is a totally wild story...I would like to think that I would have been clever enough not to have tortured a few hundred people for a decade... Even though the company explicitly states location to the zip code, people are people and I am not sure I can give the company a pass on this (should get sued).

That is a strange story. We all have to hope they can fix the problem. Pick a location that is the middle of a lake or something for those IP address.

From the article:

Now that I’ve made MaxMind aware of the consequences of the default locations it’s chosen, Mather says they’re going to change them. They are picking new default locations for the U.S. and Ashburn, Virginia that are in the middle of bodies of water, rather than people’s homes.
