I’m more concerned about the precedent set by the Chinese Sesame Credit system.
There’s one score assigned to a person based on how you live your life in accordance with government expectations. Commit a crime, have an illegal child, don’t buy what the state wants, be late on payments, go into debt, complain about the government on social media, have dissident friends, cheat on tests, your score goes down.
If you buy what the state wants to sell, share government propaganda on social media, obey the law, follow strict social rules, and your score goes up.
A high score results in higher rankings on dating sites, eligibility as a sperm donor, permission to travel abroad, lower costs for car rentals, eligibility for coveted jobs.
A low score means you can’t travel domestically, are barred from certain jobs, pay more for services if considered at all, are impossible to find on dating sites.
It is built on a cross between our credit score system and gaming platform ratings.
You're right - and in the age of computers this level of control - FICO on speed - is possible.
I believe something like that is already happening covertly through things like Facebook.
