they dont need to get their shit together, they need to be found criminally liable and fined a percentage of their stock price. yep, i said that. fuck your stocks
this would only change if this hit verizon where it hurts.. and i mean hundreds of millions per fucking incident paid to the victim. then Verizon might be tempted to do something.
as it is, they are providing the bare minimum of any service required to achieve the next quarter stock 'value'. any fines are the cost of doing business, and who gets that fine money? not the victim.
I agree with this sentiment for every corporation. WAY TOO OFTEN are people wronged, with life consequences, and they aren't taken care of and the company gets a slap on the wrist.
If I did this as a private citizen, it could carry criminal charges. If a corporation does it, maybe they'll get fined.
Would a private individual who accidentally gave out an address, to someone posing as an authority, be criminally charged?
