It can be seen as an issue of intent. By posting something, that datum might be there for personal use, and is not intended for further commercial use, especially by companies outside the one hosting the information originally.
The act of data aggregation is one that I personally think should be heavily considered for regulation, especially since it can de-anonymize people. This in my opinion is a privacy invasion, performing extra actions to access additional private data when no access to the more private details was granted, and those details did not exist publicly in an accessible way. Especially at scale and yielding personally targetable results, this isn't something we want organizations or governments to use against people unchecked.
