I'm not taking offense at any mythical company, and am being very specific as to what I am discussing.

As I've said, several times, the court will barely tolerate the minimum, and any form of token or performative, hand-wavy attempts to act as if complying, but not, will be taken poorly by the court.

Performative by its very root, is to put on a show, an act of story telling. This in not even remotely inline with compliance, but instead, pretending to do so, whilst not.

A good example of what I refer to:

https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/token

"something that you do, or a thing that you give someone, that expresses your feelings or intentions, although it might have little practical effect"

The 'little practical effect' is the key point here. A display without actual effect is not complying, even minimally. Courts care not for performances, displays, but instead actual fact.

You seem to have different definitions for these terms, perhaps even less used ones or colloquially derived. However, when one dives into the legal, terms take on a more rigid definition.

I don't see the value of this back and forth beyond my reply here, for there isn't much I can do, or that we can agree upon, if you use terms in ways that really aren't inline with how they will be taken.

And really, if you're simply going to argue that performance and token displays are somehow doing something meaningful, that's just plain incorrect.

> something that you do, or a thing that you give someone, that expresses your feelings or intentions, although it might have little practical effect

Perfect definition for the geo block, since it's trivial to bypass and billions worldwide use the technology to bypass such a check.

Thank you for providing a dictionary definition that perfectly captures how the businesses efforts are "token", since literally billions of humans can bypass it with minimal effort.
