HAMILTON: You can lay the groundwork for reforming Congress

GRANT: After Equifax breach, blockchain can give control back to consumers

Former Equifax CEO Rick Smith, in testimony to Congress last week, dodged repeated questions from Sen. Elizabeth Warren about whether consumers do, or should, own the personal data that makes up their identities. The senator’s line of questioning and Smith’s squishy answers point to a major problem in our systems of financial and personal trust, a problem that many people have begun to take note of in the last few weeks.
