The problem, not stated, is that a bankruptcy can wipe out the obligations of a company to its customers. This includes privacy obligations.[1] Especially if the assets are sold to a company outside California or outside the US.

- ajb 2y agoYes. We need obligations to be able to follow personal data, by analogy with real estate (if you agree an obligation with your neighbour, for example access rights, it can be effected in such a way as to be binding against future owners. Otherwise you could get stuck without access each time they sell up. This is often set up at the point when the land is subdivided)

That's the only thing I can come up with to stop this and maybe have a side benefit of killing credit companies at 7am before I've had my cup of Joe.
