With a VPN you can make your apparent location anywhere your VPN provider hosts servers.

My understanding, though, is that if you’re on a VPN, it’ll also show that as well.

Of course a lot of cards will say they’re from Intercourse Pennsylvania and other risque locales or places with amusing names.

Would X be able to detect that the location is through a VPN and put a tag on it to warn viewers? At least people will know.

VPN causes me two constant headaches.
1. If I want a shopping site to give me information about local stores (e.g., Home Depot), my VPN says I’m over in Seattle or Los Angeles and I get information about what’s in stock at those Home Depot stores.
2. Lots of graphics won’t display correctly if you are using a VPN. Pookie’s Toons often won’t load unless I turn the VPN off.

......X may have access to signals such as internet protocol (IP) addresses......

Stupid thing to say. Nearly every e-commerce website I go to tells me the location of my IP address.

But you have to keep it up all the time I would imagine and things happen. Not sure what happens if you4 location changes.

A imperfect as it may be this will send a message to millions of punks around the world that they are being watched, for this I rejoice.

If they are using a VPN it says in the profile, they are using a VPN.
