They're really playing up the ominous tone.

"We know this because your IP address — xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx — was the first thing your device sent us. We know the rest of it. We chose not to display it. Most pages would not have made that choice. We did not ask for your location. Your address arrived before you did."

Uh, yeah. That's how IP addresses work.

    Compare this to Google's homepage, which is clean, wholesome, friendly, and inviting.

    (I don't mind sites that try to scare the user straight, but this one definitely has the unmistakable tinge of AI-generated wording. Make a sense if you click through the links at the bottom to see who created it.)

    It really looks ai-generated. It even contains mistakes like saying that my 5yo phone model with low resolution is a high end device. All the text is pretty "generic" and sloppy

    Yes. You can either give them your real one, or not. That's the point being made. Actually the point of the whole page is that just loading a website tells a huge amount about you, even if you are behind a vpn and extensions to minimize your fingerprint. You are a product for sale.

    Language and dark mode setting are also funny. Yes, I literally want to share those preferences so you don't serve me a blinding white website in hebrew. What a hacker you are.

    I am pretty sure 90% of the people using the Internet don't know what an IP address is.
