> Personally I worked for a FAANG company that took data protection quite seriously
Me too, and it’s still funny how often user data gets leaked even with world class engineers and incentives. Moving beyond FANG, look at how absurdly common it is for user data to get leaked - financial institutions, romance services, transportation services, everyone.
You claimed:
> laws and “audits” do little more than nothing to meaningfully protect data
I asked you for evidence for this claim and you provided none.
Please either put up or shut up. I'm not going to keep engaging with you while you spout incendiary catch phrases while doing absolutely nothing to support your claims with evidence.
Case in point:
> look at how absurdly common it is for user data to get leaked - financial institutions, romance services, transportation services, everyone.
I disagree that this is common. Personally I haven't had any of my personal data leaked by any of these types of institutions. If you want to claim it's common that banks leak their customer's data, then you need to provide the evidence that supports that claim. It's how the burden of proof works.
> I asked you for evidence for this claim and you provided none.
My evidence is experience in the field and a knowledge of the many many publicly acknowledged data leaks that have happened in recent years. I’m not sure why you’re taking such a hostile tone; these things are well established.
I’m not particularly looking to have a formal debate where I dig up sources and you refute them; I’m only saying what is quite clearly true.
