Topic: Equifax

The transition into the digital age is described as a benefit for the controller class and Silicon Valley sorcerers rather than the average person. Concerns are raised regarding centralized corporate consortiums having control over property, bank accounts, and smart locks. High-profile data breaches like the Equifax debacle and cell phone surveillance are cited as reasons to reclaim a digital footprint.

The Equifax breach compromised the social security numbers and personal data of nearly every adult in the United States. Despite the severity, there have been no legal repercussions or fines imposed on the company. Critics like Senator Elizabeth Warren have pointed out that Equifax may actually profit from the breach by selling credit monitoring services to the very victims whose data they failed to protect.
