Hacker publishes private info of 2.3MILLION dating app users online
How long before a scorned lover kills someone bc of this info leaking

Im with OP.
Some forms of hacking need to be taken much, much, MUCH more seriously. Legislation on tech criminals is like 10 steps behind, and its not okay.
Its practically like 1800's wild west frontier with outlaws running around killing, robbing, raping, hijacking, extorting people, families, businesses, with an overwhelmed sherrif and a clumsy deputy the only thing standing in their way.
What stopped that era? You guessed it--- automatic death penalty. That cowboy shyt would get you hung. That and the Govt. started paying top dollar to Marshalls to help hunt these ppl down and murk them.
Now obviously Death penalty is a bit hyperbole but you get the drift. These ppl are human garbage and need to spend MANDATORY football numbers in the pen. Screaming, crying and begging in the damn court room type numbers. Theres no way robbing a 7/11 with an empty gun should get you in more trouble than hacking hundreds to millions worth of personal info and leveraging it to fxck human lives up en masse because you can. If we gonna decriminalize drugs we can in turn criminalize the fxck out of hackers

Unless you can prove the use of computer directly contributed to the death of an individual and for homicidal(legal first degree murder in any other circumstances) intent, I disagree.

THANK YOU. Someone gets it. Especially the part about hyperbole.
Am I advocating that a mf who manages to hack into some local business bc he hated their service, and redirects their website to mycompanysucks.com should be executed? Obviously not. I like how you made the connection to drug laws and other forms of theft/robbery.
I see your point but at the same time requiring a DIRECT, straight line connection between a crime/action and an injury (physical or otherwise) is one way that the "system" permit anti social behavior. You see a lot of this in financial/corporate crime. It's one reason why you only had one or two executives charged after the 2008 crash. It's the primary reason that political corruption is almost never charged and many convictions have been thrown out. There are cases where politicians straight up take money/gifts, but the conviction is thrown out bc the court argues its possible the person giving the money/gift may have done so without corrupt intent (even tho the pol enacted some policy that directly benefited the person making the contribution).
It's widely accepted that financial loss etc can be a primary motivating factor for suicide EVEN in the absence of mental illness. There are many examples of ppl killing themselves and even family members/spouses etc etc after losing their jobs/life savings. Crimes that lead to companies going out of business (and therefore depriving people of their livelihoods) the exposure of private information (sexual orientation; medical conditions; interpersonal relationships; paternity) and targeting of critical public infrastructure will undoubtedly lead to deaths that would not have occurred otherwise. Ppl kill themselves out of sheer embarrassment or despair. And this doesn't even consider all of the repercussions. These crimes can/will lead to breakdowns in family structure, domestic violence (spousal+children), alcoholism/drug abuse etc.

damned mine eyes, DAMNED mine eyes!!
They use cyber-criminals as a way to catch-up and close the loop-holes in the system. So they have no choice but to negotiate lighter sentences in exchange for getting up to date with the state of the art crime techniques.
This takes us right back to my wild west analogy. Law enforcement was so overwhelmed and outmanned at one point that they relied on bounty systems and often deputized ex-outlaws in exchange for lighter sentences.
It just goes to show how far behind and overwhelmed the government is with this right now
