      So there actually is a federal (felony) law against that, but not against sharing their names: 18 U.S. Code § 119. This is the most a website could legally get away with, at least for US Citizens. It may not apply to Ice List’s designer (Edit: Who is Irish and living in the Netherlands, which I believe is part of 14 Eyes), but I am not a lawyer.

          And you foresee absolutely nothing bad happening if all the public officers’ addresses were made public?

            if all the public officers’ addresses were made public?

            if they don’t want to receive what’s coming to them, they can always quit

              Are you, like, ten years old?

              Imagine it’s 2021, Trump is president. All federal employees addresses become public. Trump does his “we’ll retake democracy” stunt and people storm the Capitol.

              What do you think happens in all the cities where armed MAGA now have access to Democrat politician’s and federal workers home addresses?

                  All of this has happened.

                  Yeah, I remember the bloodbath of 2021 when people were going door to door and shooting Democrat-aligned officials…

                  WTF are you smoking, mate?

                    Right now this is the case. MAGA nazi fucks run every federal agency that knows where people live. IRS, FBI, NSA are a few that come to mind. Social Security as well. Do you not remember the whole thing where Musk and his idiot lackeys exfiltrated entire federal databases with basically everyone’s names and addresses?
