In terms of the other examples you gave, there are just as many in respect of people being found using Internet sources. If the electoral register had been put on the Internet as some people wanted it to, in a searchable format, many problems would have resulted. Many people would have complained. Maybe the answer to this one is for someone to object to their details being published worldwide when they submit a planning application. If the request is ignored, take the council to court. HRA, DPA and ultra vires lines would be available, in my opinion.
