About the Episode
In 2017, the bitcoin community was outraged by the extreme negligence of Equifax in one of the largest data breaches ever.
A central point of vulnerability was hacked and personal data including social security and credit card numbers were leaked onto the interwebs.
We have a short memory: Equifax stock is up roughly 43% this year!
Two years later, Reuben and his company, Class Action Inc are still fighting for the people. They recently filed an objection to a laughable settlement offer: less than $5 per person to less than 10% of those affected.
We discuss data freedom, digitizing law, and decentralizing power.
