But your approach requires us to wait for something bad to happen to someone else before forming an opinion. Why exactly should people whose privacy has been violated have to be sacrificed further before any value is assigned to their privacy? We can use retroactive data to estimate the downside risk.

Sure. What does the retroactive data say? If the data is bad then I agree - it should be punished accordingly.
