I love all this data being kept by people who won’t go to jail if it leaks. If you want to keep data or are forced to then a lot of important people need skin in the game or it will leak. After all, there are plenty of examples where corporate fines don’t work.

I’d like to see fines that actually negatively impact bad actors vs the slap on the wrist they are.
