With CGI-NAT wouldn’t the actual list be as much useful as just all 4 billion ipv4 adresses?

“In compliance with your request, we’ve looked through our posts and IP logs and have determined that all commenters discussing piracy were coming from the same subnet: 0.0.0.0/0”

Poor man’s TOR :).

It’s not completely inconceivable that ISPs using CG-NAT could keep logs that would allow these users to be deanonymized, but it’s an extra step and they might not have enough information between the Reddit and ISP logs to do it. But… they’d have to be talking to the ISPs anyway, and the ISPs will probably cooperate?
