Once Fennec uses the search service geo ip logic, we should just read from that pref for snippets, rather than doing a separate country code check.

Is this ticket: "Implement nsSearchService in Java"?

Nope, this but is to replace the snippets country code fetching logic [1] with a pref read (reading the pref set by the search service).

Just keep in mind that there might be a race between the two JS components.

Gavin noted that if we remove the country code fetch in the snippets code, we should talk to Geoff about updating our privacy policy, since it currently mentions something about this country code fetch for snippets.

Yes please do. Margaret would you mind setting up a brief meeting to talk about our plan and the impact it will have for the notice. I don't think we need too much time. Also, please add Marshall to the discussion.

I haven't heard back on this, is the plan to remove country code fetching still a go?

Not currently scheduled (no one is assigned to this work). (And to be clear, were this work to be completed, it would be "consolidating country code fetching to a single mechanism", not exactly "remove country code fetching".)
