Banking and medical information are kept secure through federal regulations. Why should we trust the states that have already shown either their inability or unwillingness to remedy the issue?
- lhball 7y agoExperian fiasco (and others that came* long before) taught us the shortcomings of these types of regulations. Do you really feel like banking and medical records are being kept secure? If so I envy your confidence. Compare that to the way our messages are being encrypted these days (iMessage comes to mind) and i think we’d find the regulation to be lacking. The incentive provided by regulations (I.e. jail time or fines) doesn’t compare to incentives derived from competition, or (heaven forbid) profit. It’s, for better or for worse, human nature.
