In the aftermath of the Equifax data breach, Senators Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts and Brian Schatz of Hawaii have introduced a bill that would ban credit reporting agencies from collecting fees for placing freezes on individuals’ credit files. >In the grand tradition of government backronyms, the bill [PDF] is called the FREE Act, or Freedom from Equifax Exploitation Act.
