Your consent is irrelevant here. The information is still publicly available to anyone who wants to look.

You can make the case that this data should be private, and I might agree, but that doesn't change the fact that it is currently public, hence there is nothing to be "revealed" or "doxxed". The information is already out there, in public, easy to find.

Real property transactions are public by operation of law. It’s been that way for literally hundreds of years.

But I didn't consent to it existing in a second database: Twitter.
