> I get what you're saying - in that if you know the IP address, then you can often easily discover who the individual is.

That’s not what I said. I said if you have the hash, you can derive the IP address from it in most cases.

That part was responding to where you said "Usually isn’t good enough. I’ve had residential IPs that are on public record belonging to me personally. IP addresses can be personally identifying information, so they need to be treated that way."

My point is that whether you can determine the IP address from the hash or not doesn't matter. The hash itself is PII.
