Think you've got your credit freeze bases covered? Think again. Today's post looks at the NCTUE, which many mobile phone providers use to check consumer credit (instead of Equifax, Experian, Trans Union, et. al). The kicker: NCTUE is operated by Equifax https://t.co/sOmjd8eu9w

The FCC's decision to abandon its traditional role in protecting an open and free Internet will go down as one of the biggest mistakes in Internet policy history.

We will fight in the courts, in the states, and in Congress to restore #NetNeutrality.
