There has never been a need to actively broadcast these massive amounts
of personally identifiable information (PII), and I haven't seen any
convincing rationale for doing it now.

Whenever dealing with PII the most responsible action is to distribute
it only when a real need has been demonstrated.  When publishing information
on the internet, it is not possible to undo it, so it is better to err
on the safe side for PII.
