It happens often on Reddit, which is really bad with their shadowbanning and associating you with other accounts that you have nothing to do with, probably because crappy ISPs reuse IP addresses for multiple users.

Some ISPs also use a carrier-grade NAT so multiple users share an IP address.

Isn't this almost universally the case for mobile data?

I suppose so, but I know of multiple Pakistani ISPs that do this with their fiber offerings as well. I don't know if it's standard practice, though.

Possibly IPv6 support on both ISP and web service solves this issue.
