There is no "to be fair". This is how these companies and politicians get away with everything. Well that company came forward and admitted they were raping us so they are better then the ones that don't admit it.
The answer to that is NO. There will be no raping.
You rape you lose. Go to jail, loose your business, etc.
Otherwise they just keep raping and just apologize as soon as they are caught. There is no penalty in the "to be fair" model.
If we want them to change they need to know, if they are caught they are out of business, out of office, in jail, hung by the neck.

I am not a fan of the current republicans but I don't see how this is a bad thing. He is in public office. Any communication involving his position should be available by FOIA. So how is this bad again?

At least we can see when he says "hey shut down that bridge in NJ" or "I will let you write the law and I will say I wrote it if you pay me $25,000"

If Google is hacked, Google takes the hit and looks bad.
If your bank gets hacked, you take the hit, the merchant takes the hit, the bank walks away clean.

It is not identity theft (this makes the individual responsible to resolve.) it is fraud (causing the banks and fed to be responsible to clean it up).
Someone needs to sue the bank because they allowed the fraud to happen then called it identity theft so they could wash their hands of it.

It is called intellectual property. Once a company claims that there product is protected they do not have to disclose whats in it. Look at fracking mixtures. We take the trust us it is safe to people instead of give us a list of whats in it.
The same issue is shown here. Company makes product and yes it puts out fires really well. That is all they test for.
We need laws that state you must list and test what is in your product to make sure it is safe in how it is being applied.

Are water, gas under title II?
No.

You forgot the fact that the cost of goods and services will never drop in half to match the salary drops. That equals profit. Why would they drop the profit?
Does apple drop the cost of the goods because they use cheap slave labor instead of making the products in the expensive US?

So enjoy your 10$ loaf of bread. It now only takes you 3 weeks to make that.

LMAO
Have you seen what we are doing to the food they eat, the water they drink? Only bottled water is safe now. We have fast food in the schools. Fuck the kids money is the only thing that matters.
In fact unless you can show a company will come out better in profits you are not allowed to stop them from doing directly dangerous things to others.

And why will they go no where? If they go no where it is directly due to both the house and senate being GOP controlled.
Will this change your voting habits?

Try regulation that includes criminal penalties including jail time in blue collar prison.

Let me guess regulation bad... banks are people!

Management feels it is better not to secure.

"A quote from a sony cio interview from 2007 regarding security sums up the problem and assures this type of mess will continue...

"The cost to harden the legacy database against a possible intrusion could come to $10 million, he says. The cost to notify customers in case of a breach might be $1 million. With those figures, says Spaltro, âoeitâ(TM)s a valid business decision to accept the riskâ of a security breach. âoeI will not invest $10 million to avoid a possible $1 million loss,â he suggests."

The rule that works.
All employees making 60% or more of what the CEO makes including salary, stock options, bonus, PTO, and any other perks can be included in being exempt from over time.
All others below the 60% mark get overtime.

I just hope they don't screw it up.
