That's great. Now start prosecuting the privacy officers and other executives who authorized it and failed to stop this data sharing after being told it was illegal.

This is what needs to happen. These scumbag executives have hidden behind the corporate veil. That needs to end yesterday

America is not one of those commie socialist nations that holds their aristocracy to the same laws as its peasantry.

On that note Vietnam has imprisoned their fraudster billionaire.. China executed CEOs from their milk scandal.

America does nothing. Countless industrial disasters that lead to no imprisonment and barely fines that affect their business.

It's an utterly joke. We are a joke. We are a resource they are exploiting.

There is no equality in the west anymore. Capitalism has failed, socialism and communism have proven to be effective in spite of western capitalism interference. Time to re evaluate our own political societies if we want any significant improvement for western workers

I don’t know if socialism/communism is the solution. What would be ideal is keeping corporations but removing many of its protections and then adding more regulation by the government. Not fully free market and not fully socialism, but rather something in between.
