#2Meta: Geo-fenced. They can fight their failure at publishing information with less tracking (or whatever issue they have with EU privacy laws), so they can include us poor schmucks from Europe in their readership, in my opinion.

These are impressive numbers, but I wonder: Where did the crime go? Were most of these merely crimes of opportunity which got eliminated, or did some other areas see a spike instead?
