>> Are you arguing in support of my point? Banks insure themselves against robbery precisely because they are held 100% accountable for it to the customer.
No, Im saying that your example was irrelevant. If netflix said in its terms of service that it would dutifully anonymize the collected data, then are they liable? If some hacker reveals a weakness and Netflix pulls the plug should they be sued?
I never heard of a bank that got robbed and passed the loss on to their customers. If a bank is robbed, they know exactly how much was the damage, and how much they will be in trouble when they have to repay their customers.
Netflix can't "repay" their users privacy, can they?
