So, now they'll pass laws making it illegal to divulge the addresses of politicians and other public figures without even considering that the same law should apply to everyone.
It'll be privacy for me but not for thee.

i was thinking the same thing! i was wondering how fast congress would push through a privacy bill when they keep getting doxxed.
The one positive from that outcome is that it'll be very complicated to sort them out, and at the very least, I'm all for making data broker's jobs harder
Just an excuse to fail on politicians they don't like
