A competent programmer could write an algorithm to knock out the low hanging fruit, like public Facebook pages, in about five minutes.

Might take me a couple hours. Someone genuinely good and familiar with the space would have been done in less time than it took to write this comment.

Can't imagine why they would do that, or why they would want to extend protections they politically must extend to marginalized people who take real precautions to assholes who know they'll always be protected by power.

    They don’t want to deal with the slightest risk of dealing with legal consequences. The ole corpo risk matrix + risk appetite as assessed by lawyers resulted in this, no IT involved ever probably.

    Totally, corporations will always go fasch, not just because they want to¹ but because it's what they are

    Your solution doesn’t fully eliminate risk on it’s own and addressing that costs money - that’s about as far as a rational company has to go. They know going nuclear and banning all personal info means not having to deal with it at all and it’s a niche thing that will affect negligible amount of users. Bean counting is the core of meeting regulatory and legal requirements in case of for-profit organisations.
