the problem is what are the damages? how much are those damages?

My SSN / private information has been leaked 10+ now. I had identify fraud once, resulting in ~8 hours of phone calls to various banks resulting in everything being removed.

What are my damages?

I would suggest that damages should be punative, not to make the victims whole. So i dont think it matters.

Punitive damages are no-go in Europe given they would mostly result in money transfers from the ruling families to common people.

		Have you seen the GDPR? Its basically the definition of punative damages.
