This is disturbing, but, really, is it surprising? The GOP is in control of all three branches of government in America, and they're always very pro-corporate power. Equifax's data breaches were caused by criminally-insufficient security controls, by a company large enough to know better. They could have secured the data and chose not to. They could have brought in third-party auditors, yet chose to not spend the money. So it's on them. Hopefully, we can hold Equifax accountable at some point, when the politics become a little more consumer-friendly again. Right now, it's almost 100% on the side of corporate rights.
