What about companies not taking responsibility of their own data?

You could talk about how FB makes $15 per quarter from users and they give up X,Y,Z of data. Yet 90% of the userbase wouldn't pay $15 a month for a advertisement free platform.

Alternatively, how about the Equifax hacks? And your Thesis could be on pricing users data. And viable compensation measures.

Thank you very much for the thought. A quick Google Scholar results showed almost no researches about this subject. I find this subject very important, but I also don't see the impact of a such research, since these "big evil corps" done or caused much worse problems and they still exist.

Another thing is, I don't know if I can do this research by myself, or need some other professionals/academicians and where to start.

Could you please provide more info or insight, if you have?
