Who's donating to Trump? This bot will tell you (cnn.com)

I understand that there needs to be accountability from the FEC on how campaign funds are raised, however, this twitter feed gives out PII about donors including their home address and their employer. The only purpose I can think of for this information outside of the FEC would be to determine if you are a democrat or republican by doing an API lookup on your name and home address. Is there public value in determining your political affiliation? I'm not sure there is. (at least no positive public value)
