For all the H-1B is "cheap labor complains" the fact that this information is public is horrible. Its a very asymetric relationship with your colleagues. If this were really meant to be about transparent controls, it should be tied to the wages of the other employees.
Cant believe there isnt a single comment about privacy issues regarding this here.
EDIT: after scrolling a bit I did find some. Kudos to that conversation, though this has to be off-putting. The OP is also playing with people's information. He hasnt put his next to it, for example. Not that it would have been enough.

- conanbatt 11y agoI would find it sensitive to literally 100ks of people to make an effort to anonymize the data. If you don't see the ethical hazard of something like this, who is making the site, who is going to? The legislators that already passed the law?
- mathattack 11y agoThis information is all publicly available already. Nothing new other than the interface.
- conanbatt 11y agoIf you think a site like this has no effect because the information is already there, you should think its absolutely useless. But its not, because it does have an effect. And that effect is negative for a lot of people who are being treated different for their nationality.
