What other use has come from posting home addresses on Kiwi Farms?

Home addresses can be used to find lots of other public records associated with an individual.

Not that this example is relevant to this thread, but owning shell companies?

I agree it's not relevant to this thread. And how many shell company owners used their home addresses?

I've owned something similar to a shell company before and used my home address as required by local laws. Obviously some more nefarious actors would not but plenty of stupid criminals around.

You didn't answer the question. And people only care about shell companies when used to hide true ownership of something else.

I don't know the statistics of how many shell company owners use their home address nor do I know of any sources for such information.
