The IP itself won't be the problem for almost anyone, nor won't  
connecting the IP to an SL account. What scares (some) Residents is  
the possibility to tangle their SL account with their RL identity via  
their IP and third party web services that require RL data.

   Unless you either use tor or don't use any (untrusted) services  
requiring RL data at all, you have to assume your RL data and IP  
already can be connected, so if SL want's to provide anonymous use it  
shouldn't reveal them. That such will is existant can be seen from  
point four of the Community Standards[1].
