> FACT: products liability law reduced accidental deaths in the workplace. (source: https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/preview/mmwrhtml/mm4822a1.htm) There is no reason similar laws wouldn't work for consumers privacy. Tort law needs to be applied aggressively to data privacy.

How exactly does that source support the FACT? The words "liable" and "liability" appear nowhere in it. They credit the reduction in workplace fatalities to a number of factors, including technology, expanded enforcement powers of federal inspectors, mandatory standards, and the creation of OSHA and NIOSH. They make no mention of product liability or tort laws.
