And articles such as this one only perpetuate the problem, continuing to push this broken paradigm where people should engage with these surveillance bureaus any more than suing them for libel when appropriate.

> Fundera said the percentage of people who froze their credit in response to the Equifax breach incrementally decreases as people get older... Thirty-two percent of millennials

This is truly sad. I'll give older people a pass for clinging on to a system that they remember as having worked, but younger eyes should see through the nonsensical status quo. Unfortunately, they're still naive and apparently doing what nebulous authority tells them to avoid marks on their "permanent record".
