Companies that have publicly traded stocks are now being given ESG scores (Environmental, Social and Governance). The largest mutual fund company, BlackRock, is a big force behind this and uses the score in making decision on which stocks it's mutual funds hold. They can force "politically correct" actions without any laws being passed. Google has helped China with it's "Social Credit Scoring" system for Chinese citizens. I would not be surprised if Google is already collecting this data on US citizens and just waiting for the proper administration to be in place to implement it.
Yep.

That is the horror of the digital gulag. They can build it entirely behind the scenes without the public having any knowledge at all about it. It would be a disparate collection of separate systems, seemingly not working together, but adding up to a monstrous tyrannical whole. It could be unleashed fully formed and be unstoppable.
