Should corporate boards face personal accountability for repeated privacy violations?

Here is the perverse outcome nobody mentions: personal liability will make breach disclosure slower, not faster. If a director faces personal ruin for a repeat incident, the rational move is to litigate the definition of violation, delay the announcement, and lawyer every forensic report, which is the opposite of what victims need. It will also shrink the talent pool: qualified independent directors will avoid the boards of data-heavy companies, leaving those boards to insiders with less appetite for hard questions. The [SEC's own cyber disclosure rules](https://www.sec.gov/) already push companies toward faster reporting, and personal liability pulls the other way. We want directors who ask uncomfortable questions early. Threatening their homes and savings gets us directors who ask nothing, on the record, ever.

NIL was supposed to fix this and all it did was make the bagmen legal. Salaries with actual contracts would be more honest than whatever this current mess is.
