I agree that license plates make an apt comparison. How would you feel if private companies set up plate readers at just about every parking area everywhere? Like with IPs, they wouldn't be able to identify unique individuals with 100% certainty (as both IPs and cars may be shared), but they'd get pretty close. Certainly when it can be combined with other data. So yeah, to me it makes sense that IPs are personal data.
