agreed, but at the same time, we send small time druggies to prison for years, which is also madness. these are all valuable humans, despite the othering identity politics of law and order rhetoric, and our focus should be bringing them back into the fold, not harshly and debilitatingly punishing them. very few people are so far gone that (long) prison terms make sense. with that said, it'd be an injustice if we didn't also send privacy violators to prison, as it would unfairly advantage to them in the eyes of the law. above all, the legal system should strive evermore toward fairnesse. obviously the best solution is not to send any of these folks to prison. ideally, privacy violators should have to face the consequences of their actions as part of their punishment (like personally making whole each victim, as an extreme example).
