There are sentence maximums for different crimes for a reason, and often people are unjustly sentenced to the maximum level. With your analogy we should just have the option to sentence everyone to life for any transgression and then just tell everyone "but they won't".
I don't understand why this is constantly handwaved away with statements that claim to tell the future. If you are correct that the violations aren't as large in some cases, that can codify it a bit better than "trust us".
- icebraining 9y agoWhat makes you say they aren't codified better than that?
- lagadu 9y agoTo reverse your argument: without data protection laws we're just trusting corporations that they won't commit any transgression. Your "worst case" description is exactly the current scenario that we have in place being practiced by corporations who have your private data: all you have from them is "trust us".
