Comment on Launch HN: Peer5 (YC W17) – Serverless CDNparent

Comments

An IP address is not PII. Linking it to viewed videos is still not PII. Good luck in court.

True in the US, not true in the EU. There is a reason Google Analytics has a switch to throw a few bits of an IP away, and it surely isn't because Google hates data.

Given that they are selling a CDN, and thus likely want to sell to globally operating customers, that might become relevant relatively quickly.

I can tell you at the BBC it was 100% considered PII.
