Privacy? What privacy? It most jurisdictions in this country I can search property records, obtain the names of those owning if not in residence, property values, when purchased and so on. Then I can cross reference other government databases and eventually onto private setups like the one in the article.

people and washington are bemoaning what happens at Google, Facebook, and the like, yet totally ignoring all the information readily available to the public for anyone to take from government itself.

Example, if you know a street address or owner's name in Cobb County Georgia will allow you to search. The amount of information available there is and the type is far more dangerous than what was discovered via a facebook quiz.
