I fear we have one foot there already. If you are so inclined, you can dig up a lot of dox on most people, all freely given to social media, or via scrapers like Spokeo.

I guess it's all still optional, kinda. And there is no centralized clearinghouse. But it is scary.

You are very wrong about no central clearinghouse. There are many.
