They only expose approximate, not precise, locations, so they shouldn’t be a risk like GPS that exposes precise locations?

    I’m not aware of any ISP that will accept payment other than a credit card, and your full billing details. Not to mention your CC company will also have that.

    IP space is chopped up and allocated to companies so it’s not horribly hard to see what general area the IP is located from an open source security perspective. But law enforcement can warrant that info from the ISP and get your actual address.
