> In the wake of the Equifax breach, Congress should require stronger cybersecurity measures at credit reporting agencies, as well as for any company that stores large quantities of sensitive data about individuals, even if those individuals are not the company’s customers.

Yes, they should, but that's not what they are doing. They are doing the opposite. [1] It doesn't matter what the majority want Congress to do when they don't listen or care and instead do what their special interests tell them. The 'bigger problem' the article mentions is not that the laws are tilted towards the corporations. It's that they will continue to be tilted towards them due to corruption.
