It seems that data-related crimes and oversights ("oops we've been hacked") are generally not being punished adequately. It's just data, right? No one got hurt.

It seems that data-related crimes and oversights ("oops we've been hacked") are generally not being punished adequately. It's just data, right? No one got hurt. I have never heard of CEOs going to jail over any of the data breaches and abuses that are reported all the time. So I'd say the risk they'd face by "breaking trust" is fairly minimal. And, actually tracing back how a machine learning algorithm might have gobbled up this data, to be used in 5 years in a way that no one can predict, is not easy either.
