[Regarding] 'Equifax-like companies that verify all the bullet points' I'm sorry to inform you that's already happening. Specifically? Yes there are obviously companies that strip mine every nugget of "data" they can possibly find about an individual, and then pass this along to whoever may be willing to buy, garbage-in, garbage-out style. But actually verifying that this information has anything to do with the real world (the way background check companies do) is a completely different, and very expensive endeavour.
