The problem is that non-SV companies aren’t generally any better, and frequently worse (cf all the security leaks where they release info that they didn’t mean to publish). The best we can do as individuals is push back against it when we see it happening, and advocate for legislation like GDPR to enforce it legally.

Your original post is poorly worded at best to get your point across; it comes off as a victim-blaming status-quo-advocating cheap quip, which doesn’t add anything to the conversation, either about this particular instance or the general problem.
