    That article is also so obviously biased and manipulative. To pretend to be balanced while controlling the narrative in their favor, they have a short section where they mention some lesser downsides while downplaying them and completely failing to even acknowledge the main concerns that people’s basic rights for privacy would be violated by such a change.

    And then they dangle the carrot of a better credit score in front of their readers should they accept to have their rights eroded further. What kind of dystopian bullshit is this?

    Isn’t this similar to the Chinese social credit score system?

    It does kind of make sense though, if you’re an idiot online that takes chances with your employment and long term prospects then that can affect your long term earning potential in a similar way that getting a felony could. The main issue would be what’s the limit? And how could a person recover their life from this? Because when you ruin your business and borrowing potential you have bankruptcy, will social credit be mixed into bankruptcy?

    I know it’s a bad example since he’s the richest idiot in the world, but take Elon’s ever worsening online posts, his racism and antisemitism are starting to be pushed back against by his companies, investors, and clientele, however limited the push back is so far, especially with Space X.

      The ironic thing is that the Chinese social credit system doesn’t even incorporate your internet history. It’s mainly your financial history, you know, almost as if it was intended to be a financial credit score system and not something supposedly straight out of 1984.
