Espressosaurus made the assertion that it would be easy for Google to not collect enough PII to de-anonymize anyone (in Incognito Mode). I'm pointing out that if you: 1) log in to your gmail 2) Switch to incognito mode and go to a website that has Google ads on it And if Google has recorded your IP address in both those interactions (of course they have - everyone does), then Google has enough information on most people to de-anonymize them. Therefore, what Espressosaurus said is absurdly wrong and should not be taken seriously by anyone. Let's focus our efforts on saying how Google can analyze and use the data, rather than on whether they're allowed to gather it in the first place. Because it's ridiculous to pretend you can stop Google, or any website for that matter, from collecting IP addresses of logged-in users.
