you can actually detect if wifi is on or off in scratch. using translate (if translation fails , wifi is off)

So does your browser every time it's trying to connect to a server.

No, I'm saying that if this feature ever gets added (probably not), there MIGHT be a chance that someone with malicious intent COULD POTENTIALLY exploit the code and hack the IP address.

7.7 Paid advertisements on the Scratch website
Some users are interested in seeing paid advertisements in their projects, like on YouTube, so they can make real money from people viewing their projects. Similarly, some users believe that having advertisements around the Scratch website can allow the Scratch Team to make more money. However, Scratch is supposed to be a non-profit organization. If the Scratch Team or any Scratchers start making money from anywhere on the Scratch website, that would contradict this non-profit philosophy, and that would be a huge legal issue.

7.8 Project advertisements on the Scratch website
Some users are interested in having advertisements around the website which advertise Scratch projects or studios, even if they are not paid for these advertisements. However, it is unclear how projects would be chosen to be advertised. Also, this would require a Scratch Team member to ensure that inappropriate projects are not chosen to be advertised, and the Scratch Team does not currently have the resources to do this.

getting IP address is allowed though , heck almost every website does it , there's not much you can do only with the IP address , and also , if someone wanted to “hack” scratch to get your IP address , they would hack scratch to do many other things , not just to get your IP address (there are even a lot of websites that help you track someone's IP)

Again I am saying, No Support, Answer these points

1. How will this effect Scratch's Education Purpose?

2. If someone hacks an device with Real WiFi then who will be responsible? Scratch Team or the Scratcher?

Access to the wifi. Would allow you to do things such as get the person's IP and violate lots of things involving account privacy.

How would you get a persons IP… cloud broadcast it? whatttt? No, it would not allow someone to get another person's IP.

Semi support. Would be very useful, but because of how scratch is, I'm 100% sure they are gonna have the best ip protection or the worst. No inbetween.Could also open up the possibility of a… ONL*NE CH*T R**M!!!!! SUCH SCARY WORDS!!!!
