Why isn't there more regulation on these? It seems something that 99.9% of voters would want to get behind. These credit report agencies horde data and then misuse it so frequently. It feels like there needs to be some accountability for misuse of data like this and breaches, especially when there's essentially no way to opt out and still function in society.

- int_19h 4y agoIn a representative democracy, it doesn't matter whether 99% of the voters are behind the issue. What matters is where that issue is in the overall stack ranking of "important" issues, where "important" is defined as "effective for the purposes of winning elections". Basically, when it comes to voting, is this going to be the reason why you vote one way or the other? Or is it going to be the usual cocktail of taxes, abortion, immigration etc? If you have an opinion - no matter how strong - but they already have your vote, why should they care about it?
