I feel like this ship has already sailed. The home addresses of most people, especially if they have lived in the same place for awhile, is already online. In my case, even my salary info is online because I am a public employee.

100%; absolutely. Search your name and an old (or current) email address on any search engine. Prepare to be horrified when you see address, DOB, social media presence, etc. for you AND YOUR ENTIRE FAMILY neatly linked together.

One people search engine had ALL of my emails and screen-names, even the ones I created with my first Internet account as a kid in 1996. Wild stuff.
