Affirm, a start-up with a $2.9 BIL post-money valuation, relies on the extraction of personal & financial data from consumer credit reports. Affirm’s use of credit reports is exploitative. Maybe a cross-post in the Axios privacy series? cc @danprimack @khart @FrankPasquale https://t.co/ltsZMfCG2a

I'm interviewed on The Breach podcast about why I sued Equifax to change the conversations I was having. https://t.co/vZ9GhFo0eg — jessamyn west (@jessamyn) April 2, 2019
