Hell, the article itself ends with "It’s not entirely clear what effect, if any, this would have on the Equifax situation specifically, since the company has voluntarily limited the scope of its arbitration terms, although clearly it is a serious blow to consumer protections at large."

They clearly were aiming for a more click-baity headline. People want to read more about Equifax I guess.

Thank you for that NYT link, it is much more informative. The techcrunch article is strange, it debunked it's own headline but still kept the focus on Equifax.
