> could capture the sessions of 10,940 criminals

What does that mean? The way I understand it you would be getting traffic correlations -- which means an IP that requested traffic from another IP and got that traffic back in a certain time period. What does that tell you, exactly, about the criminal? If you aren't looking for a specific person, how would you even know they are doing crimes?

Activists fighting an autocratic regime use a large social media site to recruit, coordinate and publish so they can reach the broadest number of people possible.

The billionaire owner of the site supports the strongman leader and provides IP addresses for those who post wrongthink on his platform.

Now the regime can link social media activity of anonymous activists to their real IP addresses, devices and locations.
