Experian's lawyers were apparently comfortable enough with this line of work to buy a company that does it outright (CSID).
It was interesting because I'd worked at a startup, which used data from the people CSID had hired and that startup was acquired by Experian. At the startup we'd concluded this work was toxic and it'd be crazy to touch the company, we ensured the arrangement was completely at arm's length yet less than ten years later a huge public company felt it was OK to just buy the whole thing and swallow it.
