There's a very good reason why no one gives Yellowbook a lot of shit while something like Raid Forums or WeLeakInfo became scrutinized by the feds.
A service like Yellowbook provides legal publicly available information where you can find someone to get in touch with (a family member, a co-worker, a long lost friend). No one craps on Yellowbook because what they do inherently isn't malicious.
Then you have those edgy skid communities and black hat hacking communities that wish to obtain sensitive data for malicious reasons. Posting credit card information, posting social security numbers, posting birth certificates, posting a state ID or driver's license, posting banking information; these things I listed are not seen as protected speech because anyone can use this kind of sensitive data to commit fraud (credit card fraud, sim swapping, wire fraud), commit forms of criminal harassment (such as swatting), or steal someone's identity to purchase a hot ticket item (such as a brand new luxury car).
There's a reason why the feds often thoroughly investigate and shut down communities engaged in stupid shit like this out of national security reasons. No one is entitled to learn someone's social security number because abuse of that kind of information can lead to criminal activity.
