They say "digital ID of every mobile device/computer in the U.S." which is essentially impossible unless they have direct access to things like Microsoft's operating system, as a motherboard has the identifier for the device -- and not only is this not always connected to the internet, you could just as easily have ordered from a foreign seller.
This is a huge claim that is not possible to have any actual validity. This is like NCIS technobabble.
Quick edit: The identifier for a device and the IP address are completely independent things, too; the identifier for a device would be a MAC address or simply a hardware ID (HWID) depending on what their criteria for this identifier would be -- and the only way they would be able to get this information is by having access in the first place.
An IP address is fairly trivial to have reassigned, and can be reassigned at random anyway, so it's hardly an actual identifier.
This feels LARPy to me. I'm not an expert in this area, but it just feels like BS. I'm confident that 3 letters have info on everything on everyone if needed, but this is sus to me.
I get where you're coming from. But also remember that Intel chips run their own OS, "Intel Management System", underneath and hidden from the graphical OS that collects everything about the system. And it doesn't matter what graphical OS the machine is running. Corporate backdoor spyware with no protection from anyone who wants to access it.

But he has a blue check mark. So we can trust him.
