You did give them explicit permission by participating in the modern financial system.

That's why I keep saying all the hypothetical privacy concerns with Facebook's Libra already are reality with the current financial system. Equifax also didn't get fined because of what they were doing, but because they were negligent in handling the data.

Having said that, given the importance of consumer debt in the US economy, credit bureaus are indispensable. They aren't going away any time soon.
