Equifax may have your bank statements, and whatever sensitive numbers they can collect, but they do not literally have have your inner thoughts, in the same way

Equifax may have your bank statements, and whatever sensitive numbers they can collect, but they do not literally have have your inner thoughts, in the same way that Facebook and Google have. That is an important distinction. Surveillance like this is harmful, either way. Not just the leaks, but the actual data gathering itself should be criticized. Why is it that during the Equifax leak nobody criticized the data gathering in the first place? It was all about the leak. In this case I am glad that the data gathering is being put into question. But anyway, my main point is that they are collecting different sets of private data.
