If all the ID consists of, then no it’s not.

As long as the part asking for ID trusts the part verifying the ID, there is no need for anonymity to be broken, since the verifier just has to confirm what the asking part needs to know.

Think of it like someone owns a bar and needs to know if a patron is old enough to drink, and the bar owners brother or best friend says “I know that guy, he is old enough”.

IP addresses.

Their commercial clients are doing things that give IPs bad reputation or banned from services, so they use this service to get access to home IPs to use.

Everyone who goes from having a lifetime/onetime license to a subscription uses the same excuse: “it’s our users who want us to make more money”

But it is still Big Cheese’ fault?
