Shame, Shame, Shame….State Said to be Shaming Data Breaches

What’s happening? First, Cersi Lanister has to take the walk of shame on Game of Thrones, and now it’s data breaches.  Texas passed HB3746 (2021 | TX) that requires a public data base listing data breaches if more than 250 people are impacted.

Why is this important? Policy makers loves databases. Let’s see who the bad actors are because we don’t love a redemption story in America? It confuses my foreign born brain.

How will this be important? In future policy negotiations will businesses ask for limited liability protections in exchange for data breach public shaming walls?
