How do they know where you are to block you? IP location regularly locates my really far away from my actual location, like hundreds of kilometers away.

But you aren't living in Arkansas anyway - you know kilometers :-)

These tech companies leaving certain places to avoid regulation, while sucking up to censorship laws in Russia and the likes... They can shove it, if you ask me.
