Re: [wake-lock] Privacy consideration about tracking location (#137)

You already need permission to use geolocation anyway, for example:

navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition(loc => {
console.log(loc)
});

Will show a prompt for access. Websites can already track a visitors IP simply by loading the page (web server logs, for example). An IP address is not considered sensitive/personal information for this reason.
