So they would send random DMs with pictures, to threaten lawsuits they couldn’t enforce, to achieve what exactly?

They wouldn't have to send random DM's if they got the IP addresses more directly, as the article describes.

They would just have to start DMing us meme images hosted on a server they control, and they’d get a list of IPs. All we’d have to do is look.
