We should work to reduce the value of that data.

Instead we don't. We just fine the victims.

Why doesn't the government, who has quite a few times, significantly more than any other party in the world, collectively and individually, pay a fine?

I'd love for my money back, but it seems the relationship is only one way. Government makes a mistake? I pay for it. Government needs money? I pay for it. Government wants to spy on me? I pay for it, AND my data gets used against me, AND I also pay that fine.

Then somehow, I am the evil one for not supported taxes. Beats me too.

Hilarious isn't it?
