What if half of the fine was given to the user(s)?
That way users would have an incentive to sue companies (i.e get rich quick). That way personal data would really have to be considered a liability if companies don't want to start giving millions to their users left and right.
- GordonS 5y agoGrindr has around 4 million daily users, and up to 30 million registered users in total. Even a fine of this size would be meaningless once divided between the users.
- stackbutterflow 5y agoI meant giving a million dollar per user. People would try to sue them en masse. They would have no choice but to be very strict about what they do with our data.
- GordonS 5y agoGive millions of users a million dollars each? That seems... not very practical!
- klyrs 5y agoAs much as I want to punish this, the actual outcome of heavy-handed fines would probably result in the company selling off all its assets... whoops there goes the database into the hands of an even less scrupulous actor.
- jacquesm 5y agoYou can't do that without the buyer being subject to the same restrictions as the original company.
