Me too, just 3 days ago! Speaking of things I never thought would actually happen, since it's 3 years later.
A far cry from the $125 promised, but it's kind of like having a little piece of history, a tiny sign there's some accountability occasionally.

Accountability is these companies not existing. We live in a "you'll fucking buy it anyways" economy now. All a fake variation on a problem that was solved 100 years ago. The people at the top are scraping as much from us as possible to fund their fear Mansions in New Zealand. It is a small club at the top and they all share a sandbox. You're not allowed in. It's over. The cancer has metastasized and the rich have won.

In the case of Equifax, you are basically forced to use them (as the choice isn't yours to make).

It isn’t over. There are means to still fight and win. Nothing is over here until all of us stop breathing. The first victory is realizing that for our own internal struggle.
I look forward to the day when our shared suffering is a distant memory, and I know that day will come.
It looks like they were charged $700MM? I think those in charge should really actually throw the book at these corporations for a change... Not very likely though.
