My belief is that this is why we need a law saying no use of user information for any commercial purposes. With draconian penalties assessed per user-incident.

Bonus points awarded for legislation that pierces the veil.
So you want to play games and you "leaked" a million user records to your business partner? That's a million fines slick.
Oh, you "leaked" them to your business partner again the next week? No problem tough guy, that's a million more draconian fines.
We can play this game all the way to your bankruptcy pal.
We need to stop these tech companies from trampling privacy and the only way to do it is to hit them extremely hard where it hurts.
- jliptzin 3y agoWho are those fines paid to? The government slush fund? Or to the people actually impacted by the leak?
- almostnormal 3y agoHow about jail time?
- bilbo0s 3y agoJail time? I'd never dare to hope for jail time. But if I could get a majority of americans supporting jail time as well for these guys, man, that'd be, just, chef's kiss. Seriously. I don't think they need all this privacy trampling stuff to make money. Apple makes a mint, so these companies clearly don't even have to trample privacy to make money. They just do it because "F you user!"
