What I'd like to see come out of this is for corporations to view customers' collected data as a liability, not as an asset. Then maybe they would think twice before collecting and storing unnecessary customer data. Or if they have to collect it, they would expire it as soon as possible. This is somewhat hampered of course by regulations that may require hanging on to data.
