Senator to Ex-CEO: Equifax Can't Be Trusted with Americans' Personal Data
This is the choice quote:<p>> "This simply is not a company that deserves to be trusted with Americans' personal data," said Sen. Sherrod Brown, D-Ohio,<p>Obviously this quote leaves out a lot of nuance, but I like
it and I like what Senator Brown has said in general. What Equifax has let happen is very bad, and I think moral judgments and perhaps even shame (which is how a society can enforce morality) should be brought onto its leaders individually.<p>I hate how businesses and business persons have been making horrible, destructive decisions for decades (not that humans in all fields weren’t beforehand) and have been escaping any kind of shame. Indeed they’ve been praised in many cases.<p>If you look at the top-level pages on Wikipedia (there are about 11 of them), one of them is for “Society”. About a third way down you’ll see “Business” listed under Society. I think this is a good reminder that business is a part of and functions for society, not the other way around.<p><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portal:Contents/Society_and_social_sciences" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portal:Contents/Society_and_so...</a>
