The bill for these things is mostly paid for by the blood sweat and tears of those affected. Anyone who had had their identity stolen for example will tell you just how painful and costly it is.

Regardless the language of this law is pretty woolly, you just have to try your best, and if you get caught doing something shonky you well get asked to stop.

It's not much different to a restaurant with poor hygiene standards getting fined for making people sick IMHO.
