I’m getting a bit sick of large corporations a) demanding excess data as a condition of doing business with me, b) allowing it to be stolen, and c) giving zero fucks about it.

What are some things that us netizens can do to make our displeasure known.

Extra points for funny ideas.

    Still, any programmer worth their salt should filter their inputs. One group at work refuses to do it and they always get away with it and it’s infuriating

      One group at work refuses to do it

      Sounds like a huge liability to the company.

      and they always get away with it

      Until they don’t. All it would take is one malicious actor (competing company, spurned employee, data thief, etc) wrecking/stealing their entire database with an injection attack.
