I would like to see laws that make storing PII as dangerous as storing nuclear waste. Leaks should result in near-certain bankruptcy for the company and legal jeopardy for the people responsible.

That’s the best way I can think of to align incentives correctly. Right now there’s very little downside to storing as much user information as possible. Data breach? Just tweet an apology and keep going.

White collar jail?

That might be the only way to give the issue the attention it deserves.
