There's something about this threat that really is awful. The legal extortion angle. We'll turn you over to the regulator if you don't give us money. Aside the fact they can take the money and package you to the regulator anyway, with complete impunity, it seems like the regulation needs to be revised in some way to take this very serious threat out of the hands of people who will abuse it.

This is just an another reason why user data should be dealt with very carefully, not a reason to nerf the legislation designed to dissuade people being careless.
