> I think it doesn't really matter in what form the government appears. It's still the government and so its rules apply. If it's a "limited company", that means it's liability is limited to shareholder capital. It's going to have to have an awful lot of capital if it's going to be able to compensate the entire population for mishandling their data. Also, if it's a limited company, then the shareholders can sell their shares; the company can change hands, often to owners in a different jurisdiction. A limited company is not an arm of the government, and I can't hold a limited company accountable in the same way I can the government; especially if my personal data has left the jurisdiction. |
