It's different because you're removing all barriers to access and making it easy and convenient to stalk/dox people.

Imagine you get the urge to track someone, but in order to do that you have to spend a week writing some new software. That's a barrier. And because of it you may change your mind because it's a lot of work with little payoff.

But if that info is just one click away, it's a whole different ballgame.
