They're really playing up the ominous tone.

"We know this because your IP address — xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx — was the first thing your device sent us. We know the rest of it. We chose not to display it. Most pages would not have made that choice. We did not ask for your location. Your address arrived before you did."

Uh, yeah. That's how IP addresses work.

I am pretty sure 90% of the people using the Internet don't know what an IP address is.

No, it’s where I pee…. It’s not a UP address
