   @blockbot @Alice Ha, nice. It's a Tor exit in this case, but this is fun shit. I would hesitate to have an autodoxxer, but I think the reason it would make me somewhat nervous is probably the exact reason it'd keep pedos away.
   
   nginx can log arbitrary HTTP headers, by the way. Maybe tack on the locale and X-Forwarded-For: $http_x_forwarded_for $http_accept_language. (Then watch how many pedophiles have language set to "de-DE".)

     @p @Alice @blockbot I think there would be many problems with this. For one, this thing doesn't take context into account. What if someone recently heard about some celebrity having some CP scandal? So, they typed in "<insert celebrity name here> CP" into the fedi search bar just to see people talking about it, and now they have their IP address doxxed (assuming they are using their bare IP).

     Also, it seems like most IP addresses don't give exact location anymore. I recently checked the location of my IP address and it showed a location of a nearby town, not the one I actually live in. I remember back in the day it would give that exact location of my house, but it was back when we had a different ISP. I assume that ISPs realized how dangerous it is to have exact locations tied to IP addresses, especially now that doxxing has become more prevalent.
