This doesn’t seem realistic to me because those data are useful for so many valid purposes and the tech is ubiquitous. So we’d have to regulate and it would be expensive and futile.
Your solutions are difficult to enforce (eg, “fire every executive” doesn’t work even in things like Enron or mine disasters).

Seriously, regulations and laws are how you get companies to act against their own best interests. > (eg, “fire every executive” doesn’t work even in things like Enron or mine disasters). You seem to have forgotten the second part of the punishment. I'll quote the punishment again: > [F]ire every executive member of that company and permanently bar each of them from holding any executive or management position ever again. I don't remember any Enron executive being barred from holding any executive or management position ever again. Do you? > Your solutions are difficult to enforce... Oh? Someone comes to the relevant regulator, or Federal law enforcement with evidence of this crime happening. By law, FedGov will be obligated to investigate. Either they corroborate the evidence and deliver the punishment, or they do not and they do nothing. This punishment is so extreme that you will only have to catch a few companies to prevent nearly everyone else from breaking this law. (After all, what executive team would risk decades of each of them getting a seven-to-eight-figure salary just so that a couple of them can get a one-off bonus one or two orders of magnitude smaller?)
