Yes, if they are using TOR. TOR is verboten, for good reason.

Well, as explained before, I've already answered
one of the questions,
and you're neither a prosecutor nor a judge. There's
no particular
reason I should answer questions from an obviously hostile questioner
who has been applying outrageous double standards in this incident
from the very start.
If the TOR was forbidden for good reasons, Charlotte should have
simply been asked, long before the RfA, to stop using it. I have no
doubt she would have complied with a request. There was no need for a
revelation of information gained through use of check user tools to
sink her RfA.
That is the real Occam's razor coupled with AGF in this incident: ask
her to stop, when you first find out, explaining it is verboten, for
good reason.
