Amazon saved children’s voices recorded by Alexa even after parents asked for it to be deleted. Now it’s paying a $25 million fine.::“For too long, Amazon has treated children’s sensitive data as its own property,” Josh Golin, executive director of Fairplay, said in a statement.

    That’s not how laws work.

    If you break the law, you deal with the consequences.

    It’s not a “game system” where additional infractions lead to multipliers of consequences.

    Child labor laws exist because we saw what happened in the past when they did not exist. We, as a society, care about our children enough to protect them. That includes preventing them, by law, from working in industrial environments.

    Some states seem inclined to repeat the past by repealing or loosening child labor laws… .

    Now another child is dead as a result.

      Not really. If you commit more times the crime, you can end with a sentence that is more than the one for a single crime.

      I mean, in the US you can get X life sentences (ok, it is only facade at this point) when just 1 is enough in any case.
