A personal experience which illuminates the point on thinking about harms re: #opendata on #beneficialownership & company directorship.... I was reading a letter to the editor on a controversial topic from a woman with a generic name and no address given. I wondered who she was.
Yes I'm sure they did. I just think its possible to come to different conclusions & approaches on the private/obscure/public , ease of search spectrum on personal info (and we do, re: e.g. drivers licenses, DVLA records, electoral registers)
