When the worst that happens is the company AI bot says " i am so sorry" . This is not like a regular company that the end users could boycott. Even if they had to pay some fine to the government that would also make no difference because the employees who are not doing their job do not have to pay the fine it comes out of any profit that the shareholders have. There also is not likely a way to find a single person who is responsible. They have their massive committees and they can all point fingers at each other say it wasn't me. I bet pretty much everyone has gotten a letter saying your information was access and we will give you $.05 and a year of credit reporting. People seem numb to the incompetence in these large companies and the lack of any responsibility by employees to do what they are getting paid for. Reply
