    Some stuff might be publicly available because FOIA and “Sunshine Laws” (is that a term used outside of Florida?) are mostly about ruining all privacy.

    You can google my name (Somewhat unique, at least in America) and see exactly where I used to live and my party affiliation because some boomer takes all the voter registration records and makes them public and google indexed.

      I never understood why it’s so public. Why does everyone in the world need to be able to lookup my address just cuz I own it?
