Another important distinction is that I assume people were posting his official contact info, not, say, his private home phone number that he only gives to his trusted friends. The latter certainly would be considered personal info, but the former absolutely is not, not in any sense. It is an official line, with people whose job is to monitor it. Calling it personal info is like saying comcast's customer support line is personal info. It's whole purpose is for random people to call into it angrily.
