That's actually an interesting cynical argument I can see soon being argued by defense attorneys. If your data is already out there--and, let's be honest, how many people have been hit by PII breaches more than once?--how much more risk of harm are you really under?
As an analogy: if a ship is irrevocably sinking, how much more damage does drilling one more hole in the hull actually cause?
"In other words, after a brief bit of ugliness as corporate influence was laid bare, it was back to partisan politics as usual."
But, that's the greatest of ruses, isn't it? To pretend like corporate influence and partisan politics are two, distinct things? In the US, no matter which of the two terrible parties you pretend to be with, it all comes back to corporate influence.
Argh! Can you stop using "theory" in the way you have been. You're hurting my brain. When you say "theory," you really mean "hypothesis." This common confusion is one of the reasons why an utterance like "evolution is only a theory," both sounds like a legitimate rebuttal to lay-people, but also gets the whole thing wrong.
