I’m getting a bit sick of large corporations a) demanding excess data as a condition of doing business with me, b) allowing it to be stolen, and c) giving zero fucks about it.

What are some things that us netizens can do to make our displeasure known.

Extra points for funny ideas.

    One group at work refuses to do it

    Sounds like a huge liability to the company.

    and they always get away with it

    Until they don’t. All it would take is one malicious actor (competing company, spurned employee, data thief, etc) wrecking/stealing their entire database with an injection attack.

      Their exact position would make it significantly less likely, since they aren’t working with databases, but software for individual products. That being said, it’s still shitty practice
