RedZone Second Life IP Address Detection Runs Afoul of Policy, EU Data

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers around the RedZone tool, designed for Second Life landowners to combat harassment and griefing by detecting users' IP addresses. However, this tool has come into conflict with new policies implemented by Second Life, as well as EU data privacy laws. The situation highlights the ongoing challenges of balancing user safety with privacy regulations in online environments. Concerns are raised about the implications of such detection tools and the lengths users go to protect their anonymity, including using proxies. The conversation reflects broader issues of privacy and security in virtual spaces.
