I continuously wonder how we keep building multi-billion dollar applications where both basic consumer protections aren’t in place and there’s almost no liability for the companies running them.
A kid working at McDonalds requires a safe food handling certificate, and the store will be shut down if an inspector sees their fridge is too warm.
Hopefully with E2E encryption, passkeys, and the like, the end of days is near for these massive data leaks, but without real consequences, these companies will never realize holding millions of people’s personal information is both a liability as well as an asset.

- cush 2y agoI might have goofed the analogy. I was trying to illustrate that mature regulations and true liability mean that even McDonalds’ lowest level employees require standardized training. They know that a fridge must be ~40F. But the kid isn’t liable for leaving the fridge open. McDonald’s is. And because they’re liable, they have invested in sensors and alarms on every fridge
- bigyikes 2y agoVery clever. Ticketmaster and McDonalds are both multi billion dollar corporations. How does capital factor into this? The person you’re replying to was highlighting the difference in food safety policies versus data safety policies.
