It would be in their rights to do it.
Its users who value their privacy will be in their rights to leave and we will.

They have a right to ask for my passport and SSN. And I have a right to say "hell no" and delete my account in response.

It's not a nothingburger; it's a massive collection of personally identifying information.

Except it is scarily easy to find servers which openly have minors selling NSFW content. Or BDSM servers targeted at "14-28 year olds".
I'm sure the owners of Tumblr thought the same.
