If only the FTC would protect the rest of our data as well. It's truely insane the number of MASSIVE data breaches that didn't even get a slap on the wrist for the companies that had really terrible security and lost customer data. In this day and age if a company stores data about people they should be held liable for their data breaches, and not just a slap on the wrist, but fined an amount that is large enough to actually make them give a shit as well as being 200% liable for the damage that they cause to people's lives as well as true preemptive work to try and fix their mistake and make their fuck up right. I'm looking at you Equifax, I never consented to you having any of my data.
