 Replying to [comment:19 pputzer]:
 > Have you got any source for this? I know of no such ruling and have not
 been able to find any German article that mentions it. All German articles
 on the topic of IP anonymization seem talk about killing the last octet
 (or using Google's standard `_anonymizeIp()` function).

 Somebody mentioned this few weeks ago in Slack (I think) but can't find
 anything more about it either. Thinking we can consider this as "not real
 unless proven otherwise" :)
