How is that different from Reddit? If trolls want to search and scrape and find information on people, they're going to. You can't put your information on the open Internet and not appreciate there's always a danger of that.
There is more effort barrier if the trolls have to do all the scraping and sorting themselves than just popping a term that is a right wing lightning rod into search and getting a list of targets.
