And again, there will be no monetary consequences for the companies that failed to secure our private data.

And governments will continue to force citizens to use these shitty companies for whenever they need id verification.

  And create new requirements normalizing id verification for increasingly mundane things assuring citizens are exposed to ever more breaches.

  That's why I say "Our lobbyists have more money than your lobbyists". Every state has sunshine laws to show who the lobbyists are, what they lobbied on, and to whom. Some states separate those lobbyists into legislative & executive branch lobbying. I suggest you look at who voted for those bills, who lobbied them and who hired those lobbyists.

More like class action lawsuit, $500m settlement, $300m for lawyers and $0.50 for every victim.

I can't agree more strongly with this statement. It is mind-blowing how can it be socially acceptable to treat other people's confidential data so mindlessly We should have a law which penalizes businesses for leaking other people's private data Got John's driver license exposed? Write him $1k cheque. Second time this happened? Make it $3k. And another 1% of his assets, since you put them at risk. $10k in the bank? That's extra $100. Guy has property worth 500k? Too bad for you, that's another 5 thou. And no blaming sub-contractors either. You hired them to do validation and they leaked data? Too bad, must have verified that they are reliable. This is when all of these Hertzies and Targets and Fedexes start thinking twice before storing confidential data. Why do they need to hold on to your driver's license? I know why. They hope to make some extra cash by datamining it. Well, get your checkbook ready then. You are selling alcohol and wanna make sure I'm older than 21? You don't need to scan ID. You definitely don't need to store it. You CHOOSE to store it, and if you do, be prepared to pay if you expose it. I wish it worked like that, but yeah, it never will
