Its complicated. Some large companies make every effort, but are still plagued by lawsuits. Do everything to the best of your ability, still sometimes somebody will cut themselves shaving or whatever, and sue. I know of one that settles for anything under a quarter million without even determining merit. Because it never ends. I know, Facebook has made an egregious error. But overreacting (kill them all!) is not a good solution?

> Some large companies make every effort, but are still plagued by lawsuits. But that's clearly not what's happening in this case: > Facebook Inc did not notify the more than 530 million users whose details were obtained through the misuse of a feature before 2019 and recently made public in a database, and does not currently have plans to do so, a company spokesman said on Wednesday. ... > Ireland’s Data Protection Commission, the European Union’s lead regulator for Facebook, said on Tuesday it had contacted the company about the data leak. It said it received “no proactive communication from Facebook” but was now in contact. > The July 2019 FTC settlement requires Facebook to report details about unauthorized access to data on 500 or more users within 30 days of confirming an incident. I'm not sure how that can be categorised as making every effort? (EDIT: formatting)
