This is fascinating and I’m sure will have lots of far-reaching effects for the courts to chew on... For example, do I “own” the IP address that my ISP assigned me? Is it really my PII? If enough people ask to be removed, have I harmed the ISPs property? What about dynamic IPs? I like that I know have the power to opt-out... but will it last?

As a developer, thinking about this is a great mental exercise for switching my thinking from “use public datasets” to “use user opt-in data” - what would I have used IP->GEO info for before? Guessing a user’s language? I can use Accept headers. Guessing a user’s real location? Better to use the web/mobile GPS api and get explicit consent. I guess the internal maps we make from our server logs will get less accurate... fine?
