Do we send Boeing engineers to jail when their plane crashes?
Intention matters when passing crime judgement. If a mother causes the death of her baby due to some poor decision (say feed her something contaminated), no one proposes or tries to jail the mother, because they know the intention was the opposite.
- davkan 2y agoThis is why we have criminal negligence. Did the mother open a sealed package from the grocery store or did she find an open one on the ground? Harder to apply to software but maybe there should be a some legal liability involved when a sysadmin uses admin/admin and health information is leaked. Some employees should be absolutely in jail from boeing regarding the MCAS system and the hundreds of people who died as a result. But the actions there go beyond negligence anyway.
