--- Comment #5 from Jon <[email protected]> ---
Had a chat with Arthur and Maryana around this. GeoIP is just not accurate
enough to be useful.

On top of this it does come across as creepy to somehow vaguely know a users
location without asking them.

Going forward we can build some new features that allow looking up articles
nearby an article you are reading and other manual ways of entering locations.
This seems a better approach then using IP.
