So basically we'd (anyone in the associated countries) be dealing with hackers being able to figure out where you live in about 10 minutes and websites being taken down holas-bolas because they can.

Best bit? It wouldn't prevent hackers from being anonymous since they can either register fake locations themselves, or use ones other people have registered.
