And for those that don’t, except for email addresses most data isn’t validated for legitimacy so one’s personal information doesn’t necessarily have to be, well, legit.

However, I agree with your thoughts that the concern will be with how someone’s comments will be used. What if it’s applied to something they don’t endorse or believe in? Will there be recourse? Will there be releases signed as to how the data can be used? Has this problem been encountered in other media?

I certainly don’t have the answers. But by bringing these concerns up early in the cycle, we can hope they’ll be integrated into the on-going dialogue of the Web.
