> Unfortunately there's no money in privacy

But there should be and there should be punishments for data breaches, or at least compensations for those affected. Then there would be an incentive for corporations to take their user's privacy more seriously.

Your personal data is basically the currency of the digital world. This is way data about you is collected left, right, and center. It's valuable.

When I trust a bank to safely lock away my grandmother's jewelry, I have to pay for it, but in return, if it just so happened that the bank gets broken into and all my possessions get stolen, at least I'll get (some) compensation.

When I give my valuable data to a company, I have already paid them (with the data themselves), but I have no case whatsoever if they get compromised.
