Suppose that the laws were changed so that breaching personal data meant the CEO had to personally visit each affected customer and apologize face to face. Would it really be the case that “we can’t do it” because everyone is being popped by elite Chinese military operations, or would it instead magically turn out that companies could cut into the executive bonus fund by 10% to resolve understaffing for boring O&M work, and maybe reconsider collecting so much data in the first place? As the post notes, breaches of the data where they have real penalties are much rarer.
