Would it be ok for me to make a blog post with their home address on it, just because it's publicly available? I don't think so, even if they did something scammy.

Apparently it is illegal since the start of this year (in the Netherlands, as it is where the article is from) since may 2018 as the new AVG went into effect and it is considered personal data which requires approval for publishing.

> but yes. Unless you are exiting violence or defamation is your goal.
What other goals would you have though? To cause embarrassment or inconvenience would count as harassment or bullying which are not legal in most jurisdictions.
What good reasons can you think of for publishing an individuals address without their permission?
It being able to be found elsewhere adequate justification: if it is that easy to find then what is your reason for republishing?
With regard to your edit (that happened while I was typing), legal concerns aside are there any morally justifiable reasons that spring to mind?
