>There is no duty to avoid being the victim of a crime
If you entrust a bank with 10 thousand dollars, and the bank puts your money in a paper bag and leaves it in the lobby, they are going to be held liable if someone walks away with it. Twitter letting teenagers steal people's data is approaching that level of negligence for a mutli-billion dollar company.

- tgsovlerkhgsel 6y agoWe do in some cases. Someone breaks in and steals your stuff? We generally don't care, because its solely your problem. Someone breaks in and steals other people's stuff that you held, or stuff that's dangerous to others? Depending on what it was, you may be held liable if you didn't take appropriate measures. If the stolen stuff was, for example, sensitive private information, and you didn't have it in at least a locked cabinet, you may be liable. If it was a gun, in many jurisdictions, you're liable. Your car gets stolen _because you didn't secure it correctly?_ In Germany, you're liable for the damage caused with it!
