Yes, only some things for now! I hope it stays that way or decreases, but that’s not the way the arrow is pointing.

Providers still implement it where they can, like for blackout restrictions for US sports games: impossible to enforce on the web because I can spoof location. Very possible to enforce on iOS because jailbreaking is not possible. Possible to enforce on Android because you can check if spoofing was made possible.

It’s currently the primary reason I can’t play games online on Linux.
