So basically make this information only available to the privileged?

I suffer from the "privilege" of uniqueness. I'm the only person in the world with my first/last combination. There are 12 living people with my last name, none of us share a first name. A few pages into a google search of me returns high school newspaper clippings from 15-20 years ago. An employer doing a background check on me gets my high jump results from 1999 within 5 minutes. Who's privileged, the 100 people who share the same name, myself, or the person trying to find information about one of those 101 people?

I would hope you wouldn't need a golden key to try to track down information, but it would be nice to have my history equally (in)accessible as someone else's.
