These companies should be forced to pay big money to each and every person affected by these breaches. Not like $120. Like $10,000 per. Teach them real lessons
In the case of this breach, I’d be happy with a $10 payout, the consequences for me are actually pretty low here. That being said, I think we’d be lucky if Dell had to pay more than $0.50 per person, and that money will probably go to a lawyer’s fees, not me.
Can’t have my ssn stolen if it has already hit the dark web.
5d chess move right here
Dude, you’re getting a delinquency letter.
But, like, we paid our fine. Sorry 🤙
Expect a ton of Indian people calling pretending to be Dell Support.
I’m so glad we banned tik tok so my data doesn’t fall in the wrong hands.
The thing with tik tok isn’t only with the data China can gather from US residents. It’s also how they can use that information to influence the populace and send them propaganda, for example influencing the election results.
They can also gather information about our politicians who use it and blackmail them to get what they want
Yep. But I guess it was already banned on government phones right? (not from the US, so I’m not all that up to date…)
Yeah but our politicians have personal phones and computers too
Ok, what information could they gather and how would they use that to influence an election?
The section Methods on the Cambridge Analytica wiki page explains it pretty well. While it’s not proven to be able to directly influence voting, it’s effective at swaying people’s opinions and emotions about subjects.
So it’s all bullshit then, got it.
They emailed me earlier about it… Good thing I’ve only ever bought a monitor from them.
Sames. They make sweet monitors.
