Most people don't die from food safety violations, they just have a really bad day. I would say this is equivalent to the harm done by something like the Equifax breach.

Nobody died from detailed records of peoples religion and ethnicity in Germany 70 years ago either.

Google and Facebook analytics get people like Trump elected. Which is a far more dangerous situation than food poisoning or a building fire due to its long term impact.

of course they do! what magical kingdom of the future do you think you're living in, where economic ends have no bearing on survival?! your business on the brink succeeds or fails; a personal relationship blossoms or sours. sure, we mustn't rely too much one any one thing going a certain way on these kinda things that data sharing or Google Analytics can impact. but in aggregate these factors have significant bearing on one's access to medical, nutritional, & fitness resources & technology, even will to live, thus they do drive life or death outcomes all the same.
