Obviously it is bad if your personal data is compromised after you (or some else) upload it to an online service like Facebook. But in this case, it’s important to remember that phone companies used to regularly leak most of their customer’s phone numbers (and names) in the form of a telephone directory. So a question to consider is: suppose that the white pages were still commonly produced and contained most people’…

That kinda sad, because that is what’s going to happen and then we’ll nothing more. At this point I’m not really sure what it will take for companies, like Facebook, to understand that you need to not fuck around with peoples private data.
Put a monetary cost of holding user data, and a steep monetary cost on losing user data. Ex, pay x amount per month in perpetuity for each piece of information about a user your keep. And have to pay the "net present value" of those payments if you lose the data. Having to pay for hoarding user personal data changes the incentives from gobble up as much as possible, to instead only pay for a users data that is worth…

Who would get this money? I agree that it needs to be some solution involving a cost, given that most of these companies have shown multiple times that profit isn’t just their main concern, it’s the only concern.
