Re:GDPR penalty for passing on of IP address to Google by us... by rndgermandude on Sunday January 30, 2022 @06:14AM (#30135937)
It is enough to identify whoever is paying for the internet access, which is enough, in itself. And it might be enough to identify the actual user with "reasonable" certainty, e.g. if the user was home alone at the time the IP was used.

Courts found that it doesn't have to be demonstrated that a user can be identified, the abstract reasonable risk that a user could be identified is enough to turn an IP address into PII (and this ruling explicitly mentions this).
