I think people are seriously underestimating the seriousness of some personal privacy violations.
I am curious as to what situations could have happened here.
Coming from almost 20 years experience in Usenet, having trolls and kooks show up and sometimes post people's home addresses and phone numbers and work contact info including boss and so on... most of these blow over without any notable harm other than people's sensitivity.
I would be less happy with my Social Security Number or Drivers License going up somewhere, but I've had my home address and phone number spammed by nuts.
