i love how much FUD has been generated around what is and isn't possible to do with a public IP address alone
i have tried 5 different geoip locator apis and none of them have identified me being remotely in the correct corner of the country
@mavica_again and most ISPs will dox you if and only if there's a request from the cops or maybe some (usually copyright related) lawyer.
@LunaDragofelis @mavica_again that's a German thing and I don't think cops need to be involved.
It can also happen in other countries, they do have your data and connection logs on file, the only thing saving you is that they might be lazy, maybe a court warrant is required and no one wants to bother with cops usually (like in Poland)
yes some countries geoip location is more accurate than others, but unless your ISP is actively doxxing you, the notion that an IP address can pinpoint to your house number is ridiculous
