I disagree. Yes, there are benefits to a lot of invasions of privacy, but that doesn’t make it okay. If an entity wants my information, they can ask me for it.
One potential exception is for dead people, I think it makes sense for a of information to be released on death and preventing that should be opt in by the estate/survivors, depending on the will.
This is a massive reason I completely avoid HOAs. I don’t want some busybodies deciding what I can and can’t do with my property, and I’m okay with my neighborhood being less uniform as a result.
