- pixl97 5y agoIPv6 without privacy extensions is pretty close to uniquely identifying.
- jand 5y agoIPs are personal data. see https://gdpr.eu/eu-gdpr-personal-data/ https://gdpr.eu/eu-gdpr-personal-data/ section "Identifiable individuals and identifiers"
- foxfluff 5y agoIP addresses can be uniquely identifying. I've had the same IP for years, it's static, and if you did a Google search for it a few years ago, you got straight to my full name and location (because that used to be on whois database for my domain names, which point at my IP; thankfully they no longer include that info in whois).
- R0b0t1 5y agoThey don't meet the legal standard for identifying in the US so I think it's suspect to assume they are identifying in other contexts. I know some people will try.
