    Simple improvement: Add a fee to access the personally identifiable information. And make the record of accessing the information public.

    Not perfect, but better.

      I believe some things (like DMV records) are fee based. But the fee is nominal and wouldn’t stop any predator from doing bad things if they are so inclined. The only thing adding fees does is to financially incentivize keeping the data online and accessible to anybody who pays.

        It might slow down people from doing it in bulk, though.
