Yeah, the only missing piece for fulltext harassment is a "Google alert" for particular keywords. Put the names you wanna track and receive a delightful alert in your inbox with rocks to throw over other people's roof.

EDIT: the tech is great, but I think there should be a record of who is accessing the data, for what purpose, terms for how it can be used in a civil way, and means to go after misuse.



How is harassment as a service not a thing yet?

You get a "Google alert" for your target. The service presents you with several buttons:

1. Send an AI written email 2. Post a link to the new info on their Facebook page 3. Tweet an image macro with the incriminating text embedded @ them


It is a thing, but making it so easy to find and access court documents mentioning someone's name will add to the pile of rocks malevolent people can throw at anyone.
