It's just corps being corps. Even the guy who literally gave 10,000 people AIDS didn't get jail time. The Dropbox execs will be lucky to get anything more severe than a bouquet and a box of chocolates. We all know that, and no amount of demanding will do jack shit. Only your wallet has a voice that gets heard.

That's not a reason to get complacent about it; that's a reason to get even more pissed off.

That's not good for your mental or physical health. I've been pissed off for too long. Just share the news stories and suggest alternatives, and never give the corps any money or data if you can help it.
