Why the fuck do we have to give out our personal information to any of these big companies if I can't trust that it will ever be safe-guarded? This is just so fucking insane to me to think these companies are just so big that they don't even give a fuck anymore. $16M is equivalent to $1.00 to them.
Our personal information/data should be given HIPAA-level protection enforced by the government. We as consumers should not have to deal with companies who do not compete on securing their customer's data. They should lose a "data protection" license when mishandling it, like a bar losing its liquor license.
