This is a similar problem with data brokers. They take public data laws to an extreme and resell easy access to the aggregated data. This easy access has created a tremendous number of problems unforeseen by the original intent of the access. Public access to data used to mean "you make a request, wait a bit, maybe pay a small fee, and sometimes physically show up to city hall." The barriers meant that you had to make a job out of collecting a significant chain of data and most people wouldn't bother unless they really needed it. Now it means pay some fee to a third party and get every piece of public data about a person instantly. You can get data from thousands of sources and subscribe to it.
