The problem would be data privacy laws in countries around the world.
Especially in the European Union these laws are very strict (i.e. compared
to the nearly non-existing ones in the USA). I don't know if they cover the
case of freely entering private data into a public database, but they might
- which the can cause problems for the database maintainer, even if he/she
is not a citizen of the European Union!
