It's a bit naive to think that Google doesn't have a filtering rule that says "only consider real phones with a true GPS signal".

This may be a bit naive question, but how does Google know that the virtual phone is not a real phone and the signal is not true? In a way that is not spoofable?

They can likely consider only 1 device per IP address. Unless the region is blanketed in strong public WiFi

I thought NAT was widespread with mobile providers making that difficult?
