Getting access to someone’s contact info legally doesn’t mean you can do whatever you want.

This would very easily be covered under harassment laws, which are a separate matter.

To use a line sometimes attributed to Beria, “give me the man and I will give you the case against him”. By which I mean that I’m sure they will find some means of making you sorry.
