Good! When Congress Critter's little blond granddaughter gets pwned (someone takes her identity), maybe Congress will get real serious about really punishing these Companies when a breach happens.
But we know what will really happen in this scenario, the Company will get funding (bailout) from the Feds, the CEO will resign with millions of USD, the CEO will become a lobbyist.
And in reality, the granddaughter will get special treatment from the Company due to who she is.
what does an imaginary young woman's hair color have to do with cybersecurity?
Notice you didn't question what the gender of the grandchild.
LOL. Congressman Danny Davis' grandson was murdered by someone who wanted his shoes and Congress didn't even care enough to yawn.
Someone put the right 10 digits into a webform? What could we do! They stole your identity!
No, you just didn't want to force someone to walk into a bank to apply in person because that would cost more and reduce your new applicant rate.

So while a punishment might exist for something, that doesn't preclude trying to prevent the crime form occurring in the first place. This isn't easy work, and of course, it won't work 100% of the time, but it doesn't mean we stop trying to reduce the number.
Man, the internet sucks these days.
I can appreciate the superficial aspect of it - if we're going to overcome racism, we should stop focusing on race. This of course is ignorant to the reality that if we stop talking about race and racism, racism will just go unchecked. Which is of course what (some/many/most?) of those people want.
Unfortunately, I don't think we will overcome racism until everyone wants to overcome racism. More unfortunately, I don't think everyone wants to overcome racism, this seems obvious.
The bigger tragedy is, trying to force-feed "don't be racist" to society just makes some people dig their heels in more, making things worse instead of better. Finally, the biggest tragedy of all is how predictable this outcome is, using force and anger as a tool to change the thoughts and actions of a person/group is generally quite ineffective.
And not just in a "An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind" kind of way.
Yes, economic sanctions. Withhold money and make markets unavailable until local law enforcement addresses it.
