> companies should suffer massive fines / damages / criminal charges when they leak the personal data of millions of customers

This is zealous. If consumers don't care, and nobody can show tangible damages, "massive fines" and "criminal charges" are closer to moral outrage than prudent lawmaking.

Noone cares about anything, unless they're the one affected by this.

I don't care if people around me don't have car insurance, but once one of them crashes into my car, i sure want them to have one, while the rest will continue not caring.

So yes, requiring companies to safeguard data, even if that means fines and criminal charges for responsible people is important.

What's your basis for assuming customers don't care?

I think there are those who don't care, and those who care but don't know better in the face of misleading marketing.
