Given how the lodestone works, we'd probably need the site as a whole to be upgraded in order to implement the desired privacy settings.

On the other hand, those who are committed to stalking players are just going to resort to third party platforms in an effort to tilt their targets which moves it from somewhere that Square Enix can take action to a platform where they cannot.

In general, those other platforms (ex: Discord) have better tools to help mitigate harassment. FFXIV is definitely the weakest link in that chain. SE can't do anything other about platforms, but they can do something about theirs.
