Firstly, answer to yourself is it practically possible to store and use vast amounts of data safely, without risk of being compromised?
If you say no, then we shouldn’t be doing this. If you said yes:
Since you think it is practically possible to do safely, the penalty for any company who fails to do this should be instant corporate death. Automatic nationalization and liquidation to compensate the victims. People who are found in court to be responsible should face severe consequences. Criminal negligence, multiple counts.
That’s the only way I see to get all of these data hoarding fucks to take it seriously.
Or we could collectivize, organize, arm ourselves, seize control of the means of production, and put leaders, politicians, billionaires and corporate executives on trial for their crimes to determine between re-education or execution.
The penalty should be equivalent to the amount of people affected. At least $1000 per person fine is bare minimum. So, that’s a fine of 1 trillion payable by the shareholders.
If I order online, my data only needs to be retained until I get my item. A electronic receipt can be sent via email.
Social networks should have human moderation, and not insist on retaining real-world data about users.
These things could be accomplished through regulation, and if enough countries (or US states) put those regulations in place it will eventually be more cost-effective for companies to implement the changes globally.
I think about this kind of simplistically.

The EU GDPR doesn’t go nearly far enough.
