While the Work Number is a horrible, anti-capitalist product, I can’t take seriously an article that keeps repeating the premise that having a monopoly is illegal. It just isn’t. It’d be illegal to use monopoly power to prevent others from

The fact that this wasn’t done at the beginning is mind boggling. We already dealt with this problem with Unix passwords using crypt, which was solved exactly this way decades ago. This should be standard for any system using hash algorithm
