You could say the same thing about corporate lawbreaking. It's likely given enough time and employees, but that doesn't absolve the company of its responsibility and liability. We need tough, enforced penalties for data breaches, plain and simple. It's a negative externality, just like pollution, and so can only be controlled by regulation.

> It's a negative externality, just like pollution No. Your leaked data does not hurt me. So it is NOT like pollution. If you do not like your data on the internet - do not give it to companies you do not trust. > can only be controlled by regulation Your claim is wrong. Companies behavior is controlled by customers demands. The balance between security and convenience -- is not an exception here: customers demand define where that balance is. There is no need for the government to intervene in this case.
