The current title is misleading. It's not yet clear what effects the new rule would have had on Equifax, and in any case it would've applied to a lot more companies than just Equifax.
Better source (and title): "Consumer Bureau Loses Fight to Allow More Class-Action Suits" https://www.nytimes.com/2017/10/24/business/senate-vote-wall-street-regulation.html https://www.nytimes.com/2017/10/24/business/senate-vote-wall...
- parent5446 9y agoHell, the article itself ends with "It’s not entirely clear what effect, if any, this would have on the Equifax situation specifically, since the company has voluntarily limited the scope of its arbitration terms, although clearly it is a serious blow to consumer protections at large." They clearly were aiming for a more click-baity headline. People want to read more about Equifax I guess.
- guelo 9y agoThank you for that NYT link, it is much more informative. The techcrunch article is strange, it debunked it's own headline but still kept the focus on Equifax.
