I even go as far as making it personal liability for upper management
This needs to be a thing for SO many things across the board, from personal data to ecological damage and unsafe working conditions. Not just upper management, everyone down the chain. If Bob the (qualified)intern did it, Anna the manager checked it and Charlie the CEO approved it, they ALL need to get punished.
Punishing the lower level employees should only really be implemented once all the anti-whistleblower legislation and people in government have been purged though otherwise you just put the employees who are asked to do questionable things between a rock and a hard place with no way not to get punished.
