Reminder that the rules for lemmy.ca also apply here. See the sidebar on the homepage:
Yes and no, an IP address can be used to correlate activity with a particular device at a particular time. It would be better to establish that an IP address is not enough to legally identify a user. Investigators should be required to provide more substantial evidence of a particular user's activity than that it originated from a particular IP.
Well that one is just a flat out lie.
Safer, no?
