How Pokémon Go takes us back to the existing world

Using anti-filtering software affects connectivity speeds and it is not clear if using it would be feasible when playing Pokémon Go.

One Iranian user joked on Twitterthat it was difficult to focus on streets in Iran because “you have to both look around to hunt Pokémon and also watch not being hunted yourself by the morality police”.
