Since an IP address alone is not considered PII, can you prove that they did not provide IP addresses for each post?

Do you think it's more or less likely that ip addresses, account names, private messages and deleted messages and posts would be included?

Remember that they paid 60 million dollars for this information and web scrapers have been capable of capturing subreddit post data for over a decade as is at a $0 price tag from reddit.
