I guess it depends what "anonymised IP address" means. If it's still possible to correlate data from visitors across different websites, they might as well log IP addresses directly.

The court disagreed on the basis that US federal law enforcement could force Google to stop anonymizing IP addresses at any moment, not that their IP anonymization[0] is inadequate.
