What happens when someone steals your identity/credentials and gets to see all of that information Google, FB, etc have about you?

- kbenson 9y agoIt sucks. Hopefully, they are held accountable. But do you honestly see an outcome where information is not collected at all? Because I don't, so as I see it we need to put the correct incentives in place to not only make it less likely but to handle when it inevitably does. Maybe a fine up to $X per account leaked with a soft cap (but absolutely no less than $1 or $2 per account) is levied. Losing 1 million accounts would hurt, so companies would make real decisions about what and when to collect data for liability reasons, and protect it better in many cases when they did.
