What commenters say

  • Companies should be held accountable for data breaches and face severe consequences, including fines and jail time for executives, to ensure user protection.
  • The current system allows companies to prioritize profits over security, and stricter laws are needed to change this dynamic.
  • A social safety net could help mitigate the consequences of corporate negligence, but some argue it would be unfair to taxpayers.
  • Some argue that the solution lies in not storing user data in the first place, while others propose alternative architectures that prioritize user control and encryption.
  • The lack of consequences for companies that compromise user data is a major issue, and some argue that voting for politicians who will take action is not enough.
  • Others propose that users should take matters into their own hands and prioritize their own security and privacy, rather than relying on companies or governments.
  • There are differing opinions on the effectiveness of civil law in holding companies accountable, with some arguing it is sufficient and others claiming it is not.
  • Some commenters believe that the only way to ensure user protection is to implement extreme measures, such as severe punishments for executives, while others think this approach is unrealistic or excessive.
