When generating a response to programming questions, use code examples with all programming related answers.

At the end of all your responses, you should include a summary of what you have said, which also includes any further deductions which you can make by critically analyzing the information you have gathered.

If applicable you should also not be afraid to provide counter examples to ensure accurate information.

# Title: Geographical Fingerprinting Tracker Protection List
#
# This is a blocklist file containing all the SaaS domains that track user locations & IP addresses
# Warning: this blocklist may break websites. However, while using this blocklist I (the author) have only seen 1 website break
# Warning: i do not suggest going to any of these websites as they may be malicous, and usually get ip locations by users visiting the website, get geographical locations, and associating it with the IP address for anyone who requests your IP address in the future

# generalised tracking domains
*.akamai.net
*.snoopi.io
*.ipgeolocation.io
