Look at this recent “data incident”

“Based on the investigation into this incident, it was determined that the
information involved may include your name, Social Security number, date of
birth, Driver’s License number (if provided), Tribal ID number (if provided),
medical record number, treatment, diagnosis, prescription and other medical
information, health insurance information, member portal username and
password, email address, and address.”
It’s not about innocence or guilt. If you leak so much information these people will have to monitor every single account, credit card, etc for life, on top of all their personal sensitive info being leaked and possibly accessed by unscrupulous employers. The damage is incredible. It’s not about innocence. It’s about responsibility.
- freedomben 1y agoI guess I should clarify: for incidents like that, I agree there should be severe consequences and blowback, including class action lawsuits and the like. If you are collecting stuff like SSN, DoB, DL number, etc then you definitely have a huge responsibility to protect that. I want to make data like that radioactive to collect so people think very carefully about whether they want to take on the liability. What I don't think should happen is some automated lawyer combing the internet looking for any disclosures and then automatically filing lawsuits based on it.
