I think it's worth mentioning that GDPR was basically exactly this.
They're putting in systematic regulations to ensure that data isn't arbitrarily kept, it must be secure and the regulations have teeth. It's really well thought out - minimize the number of companies that have your data, minimize the data they have, minimize how long they can hold it for and hold them repsonsible for keeping it safe.
Yet, when these regulations were actually bought in, you can see especially on this forum, that people were incredibly sceptical. So whilst you might think that we need to be sensitive to private personal data, it seems like people disagree when it comes to actually implementing that.
- rhizome 7y agoI don't think people are skeptical so much as they are aspiring data abusers. They're taking the corporate side over users, over their friends and family.

It was leaked because of badly configured server or firewall. The company is no longer in business so no fines (or minimal fines) would be paid.
- Traster 7y agoYour argument only makes sense because MoviePass is now gone, but MoviePass didn't design their technology stack planning to go bankrupt. GDPR would've required them to take more reasonable precautions with the storage of private info - knowing that if they failed they could be fined even if they didn't go bankrupt for other reasons.
