Putting people in jail is the wrong solution. You're going to put CEOs in jail because some angry employee at the company decided to add some backdoors, or someone in middle management made the wrong call. Either way, the CEO and high level execs can't constantly monitor every part of a world scale business. Anyone in technology also knows it's impossible to become invulnerable to breaches.
The people in congress/senate have no idea how technology works, because the younger generations are severely underrepresented, and so are technologists.

- escape_goat 8y agoMost of the responses so far seem to concern themselves with law and policy rather than technology. It might be a bit more on-point to complain that the people in technology have no idea how laws or legislation works, perhaps because the older generations are severely underrepresented, as are lawyers/legislators.
