    The law here is inconsequential. The only protection that is certain is for the data not to exist.

      It’s very much not.

          Yes. The issue you pointed to is being investigated after all. And there are potential damages if they are found to be violating the law.

              It does stop other things from happening. So how do you square that circle? Or hopefully you can see that your simplistic thinking isn’t terribly useful?

                  You’re asking them to explain why the rule of law discourages behaviours deemed to be against the law. You should be able to find evidence for that yourself, it’s an elementary tenet of any judicial system.

                  You want me to provide a list of laws that insurance companies are not currently violating?

                  How about the one that you say they will violate? They’ve been not violating that for years since it was passed.
