- bitnasty 2y agoI think that’s the point. Force the companies to improve their security practices.

- bluGill 2y agoDon't be so cynical, they do have such thinking (at least sometimes - like all other humans they have blind spots). They also have advisors who have such thinking. There are 532 people in congress, each who has several advisors, plus all the other officials in the FBI, CIA, NSA, military who have easy access to congress, dozens of lobbyists - it only takes one to have an idea and tell congress (though don't always agree and of course congress will not always do what they want). That is the US, every other country has different setups, but they will have something similar.
