Why is the FB leak getting more attention and momentum that the Equifax hack?

FB should definitely be held to the fire, but it frustrates me that there is more momentum to regulate FB and prevent a similar situation than what happened with Equifax. The latter has more implication on damaging a person's prospects of living productively in society (think about all the stuff your credit score impacts) than the Facebook data leak. At least FB is voluntary - you can't opt out of social security numbers.
