Can you really not take PII and publish it without consent? Let’s say you found it somewhere publicly or in some other fashion where a user has not agreed to a privacy policy. I’m not saying you should do that or that it’s morally right, but are there actually legal protections against that outside of Europe?

Not that I know of. As long as what you publish isn't defamatory, there is no law against publishing pii.
