The Editorial Board, The New York Times;Home Addresses Are Up for Sale. Time to Take Back Your Privacy.
"There are laws around the dissemination of personal information like
home addresses, but they’re stuck in the era of phone booths and yellow
pages. Home address privacy is governed mainly by 1990s legislation like the Driver’s Privacy Protection Act
(regarding the collection and release of information gathered by states
to issue licenses for driving) and the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (which
partly regulates how banks handle personal information). It’s time for
legislators — at both the federal and state levels — to update protections for home addresses and to allow regulators to rein in the personal data industry."
