Many aspects of privacy protection in our country are broken and Congress is not doing its part to fix them. For example, when hackers obtained the private information of 148 million Americans in the 2017
Equifax breach, Congress did
virtually nothing -- not even coming close to voting on bills, like the proposed
Data Breach Prevention and Compensation Act, which would have done more to protect consumer information in the hands of credit bureaus.
