We get it. We believe in online privacy and safety too. But please understand that by being on the public internet, we deal with people who try and abuse the tools of privacy & anonymity for nefarious purposes - in an automated manner at a vast scale.
There are a lot of (we think pretty cool) things you can do with WiGLE.net, and there are real-world costs that accompany offering those things. We're not in it for cash - it's a free site unless you're using it for commercial gain, then we ask you to keep help us keep the lights on.
We don't want donations (it's not like any of us are going to quit our day jobs) but we have to prune the "spikes" in usage of what we see as non-legitimate use/or violation of the EULA: for-profit without paying, download without proportionate contribution, and the hard-to-quantify "sketchy AF"
But dear internet: we've seen all the tricks. We're like a bouncer at the club. If we think you're not breaking the law, and will not be an a-hole once you're past the door, we WANT to let you in. Don't give us weird/awful/stupid reasons to not let you in. It's a community. It works because people.
