This is always the answer. "How do we solve x in y industry?" Make the fucking corpos responsible for their own asses and it will get fixed. If it costs them more money to be breached they will do everything they can to not allow that.

They're too busy proposing legislation to create back doors that completely circumvent security in the first place.

Nah, throw the board members in prison. If the punishment for crime is a fine then it's legal for rich people/corps. Put 'em in solitary and feed them nutraloaf for one day for each person's data they allowed to be leaked.

If they get all the money because they're ultimately responsible, we should make them ultimately responsible.

As much as I agree that something needs to be done to these companies, and that they deserve punishment, I think this approach would only result in leaks (even more) underreported, which makes it even worse.

They won't because fines are just a fee to allow them to run unethically. That way businesses get more profit than they would otherwise and government gets their cut to allow it. It's broken by design.

We should make a new internet in the dark web, but only invite cool people. No billionaires, narcs nor finks allowed !

Oh proton gives mobile too... Ya know I didn't feel like paying for the mail thing as I can have my domain and relay easily but the mobile thing I didn't know.

But I will be honest I didn't see it mentioned on the web, it's already a thing?

They’ll get justice, you’ll get a check in the mail for 3 dollars, after some lawyers win a class action lawsuit.

I don't think so.

Trump himself was victim of credential stuffing. And he's not the only politician or billionaire who has suffered stolen accounts of something.

And everyone should just assume that every account they have will be hacked. Because it already is, they just haven’t found out yet (assume breach).

Work History ok... But entire life... I guess people that used like it's Facebook maybe? 🤔
