In general, there's a lot of information that has been considered public as a matter of law (often for good reasons) for a long time. Making this information available on the web rather than in some dusty county clerk's office arguably changed things. But we've mostly shrugged and let the information remain public even if it's just a click away (or at least a nominal background check payment away).

A few years ago, I unregistered to vote, because some websites make your name, address, and age public if you're registered to vote. So I no longer vote. My privacy is more important than my ability to vote.
