I disagree. "You can't use the collected data anymore" is a million times harder to enforce than "pay us ten billion dollars."
> otherwise it will just be risk-assessed.
The key is to make the cost so large that the risk isn't worth it.
What's my geolocation history worth to Google? $20? $200? Make them pay $2,000 if they lose or misuse it.
Sure, maybe they'll buy "data loss insurance". But even then, there will be motivation to do things better. Eg, the insurer will refuse to cover claims where proper encryption wasn't used, will prorate policies based on data collected, etc.
