Definitely; OP's linked article doesn't have any quotes that refer to copyright, while this one of yours adds a lot of context that was otherwise missing. There's a world of difference between allowing retention of IP addresses and creating a cleaning house for IPs suspected of distributing works.

In fact, I myself could only tell them apart by their clothes. They had very different styles.

This makes it sound like you only tried one particular set of twins--unless there were multiple sets, and in each set the two had very different styles? I'm no statistician, but a single set doesn't seem statistically significant.

Sure but given that their previous language explicitly mentions Google why remove that unless they're trying to make people think that maybe they didn't use Google. It's a shady change, from a company whose CEO is already doing somewhat unhinged things.
