A single stolen identity can cause years of emotional harm and turmoil. Someone’s life is often completely uprooted from this. That one person alone should receive significantly more than $75k
- WendyTheWillow 3y agoA single car accident can end a life, yet we drive cars. The value gained by technology like 23andme is vastly outweighs the cost of some occasional negligence or theoretical harm. Besides, if you can find a specific person who was specifically harmed by this exact breach, I bet you could sue for damages, and get more than $75k.
- 93po 3y agoIf I significantly harm someone with my car, even unintentionally, I do in fact get sued successfully for far more than $75k
- WendyTheWillow 3y agoWhich is my point; there's no "significantly harm" here at a large scale, and if there is one at an individual scale, that person can sue. The $75k fine is exactly proportional to the complete lack of concrete harm done. Nobody gets fined for cars existing.
