They hack the taxes and the heath insurance system and yhay have everything about us.
What a shitty world because of these idiots
If that's sufficient to achieve anything then those systems are built on top of hopes and dreams.
Edit: does someone not realize that many (all?) the doctors and hospitals use to verify you is your name and date of birth (in the U.S. - although I suppose that's why since this breach happened elsewhere)?
"ANTS stated that it is currently in the process of notifying those identified as impacted."
Now that I'm thinking of it, it would create the need for an extra gaggle of bureaucrats to oversee the process,so I suppose someone might see a point to it ...
There absolutely are fines for French administrations. And, knowing the French tax system, they've probably found a way to levy VAT and some other taxes on top of those fines.
If the government were to hold themselves to account, they would fine themselves some amount N, and pay itself N using your taxes. It also wastes other finite resources for all the paperwork and legal action involved that could be used for something else.
Speaking pragmatically, there's no point trying to hold the government itself to it's own laws. The only time citizens do hold the government accountable, it's always done in the form of hangings, or the guillotine in France's case.
