This kind of response went out of fashion after Enron. Burning an entire company to the ground (in that case Arthur Andersen) and putting thousands out of work because of the misdeeds of a few - even if they were due to companywide culture problems - turned out to be disproportionate, wasteful, and cruel.
replythe answer to that is a functional social safety net for the innocent employees to land in, not allowing companies to violate the law with impunity.
replyFirst off, adults use capital letters. I know it’s hard but it’s a basic part of our language. I would respect you and your arguments more if you used them. Second, your idea is as naive as your writing is poor. The issue with AA was that accounting doesn’t provide a lot of bounce and recover space for people whose firms go belly up in the way that AA did. A social safety net has precisely zero to do with the loss of a lot of dreams.
replyIf you read more you’d know that (and you would use capitals).
You’re describing a system where taxpayers foot the bill for data breaches.
replyThat's exactly backwards. In the current regime, it's precisely the billions of people who are affected by data breaches (and who happen to be taxpayers!) who are footing the bill.
replyNot at all. Make the guilty corporation pay for all of it.
replyWe already are in a system where we foot most of the consequences.
replyThis. Severe harsh consequences are the best way to prevent crime.
replyIf we also make the penalty for every crime the death penalty we'll have no more crime. Very simple solution no one has thought of.
If the government wants me to take copyright and IP laws seriously, then they need to take my personal information seriously too.
replyThis is genuinely the stupidest thing I have read today. I get that anti-capitalism is cool now but this is fucking insane. You want to incarcerate someone for exposing email addresses on a public service? Absolute madness.
