You aren't wrong.

  I'm willing to bet a lot of customers who aren't internet savvy will be behind plans that are going to place them behind a NAT, especially cellular wireless (super common) or satellite, and even cheaper DSL/Cable plans.

All the customers behind the NAT will have the same public facing IP address. So, the zoom log may not even be in error. They all have the same public IP address.

This is why children get an asterisk in that children cannot give consent. They cannot make choices for themselves. They cannot chose to have their balls cut off. This is why crimes against children by adults are and should have much more severe than the same crimes against an adult with agency.

It is protected. You can't say it all you want. You aren't going to be canceled or jailed for saying it. That's why conversations like that happen in entertainment all the time.

Now, conspiracy to commit murder is another thing all together. If she is murdered, than that speech could be used as evidence to convict if that speech was gathered in a lawful manner. If she overheard it, she may use it to get an order of protection.

Speech is just speech. Sounds in the air, words on a page. They cannot do any harm without a person making action. It's a choice to be offended. It's a choice to be hurt emotionally. It's a choice to do illegal actions.

Words only convey ideas. What you are advocating for is for thought police. The antithesis of a free and liberal society.
