Part of it (I suspect) is that while Equifax's issues were egregious and woefully under-responded to, it still is essentially one thing...your FICO score and the info that feeds it, that was the main loss/breach.
To a lot of casual consumers, that still feels fairly attenuated from daily life.
FB on the other hand, is something people willfully interact with and hold 'private' conversations on and divulge personal data across a spectrum of areas. It feels more visceral and violating.
- ReverseCold 9y agoYup, the Equifax breach affects "just money". Facebook being evil impacts who you are as a person, what you will do, what you have done, etc.
- jinushaun 9y agoI can uninstall Facebook and opt out of it. I can't uninstall Equifax. My identity was stolen. It's more than "just money". It's something I will have to deal with for the rest of my life. Always looking for my shoulder. Facebook is insignificant by comparison.
