Can digital age data protection be 100 percent foolproof?

Couldn't help being a bit cynical about news reports that some  Tesla employees had been sharing images from cameras on its vehicles sold to customers - contrary to assurances from the company that customer data was protected from such breaches of its laid down policy  from which its employees are barred.

The reality is that that's the price we pay for progress in the digital age, in our every day lives, alas.  That's why its best to lead a life that won't embarrass one when any of the zillions of data privacy breaches that  routinely occur  around the world, hits one, out of the blue. Simple.

Clean living (in all cultural contexts globally) is the only protection guaranteed to spare one from embarrassment in the digital age.

Tesla, like all responsible tech companies,  does what it can to protect data from customers using a policy designed to ensure that, which is compliant with required  regulatory metrics. That's the bottom line. It simply isn't possible for digital age data protection  to be 100 percent foolproof.
