It raises a privacy concern for me too. How do you combat people with access to the algorithm from abusing it?

The way I see it, either China is a DOTP and problems that arise with the system will be ironed out with the will of the people in mind, or it's an authoritarian hellscape where the only concern will be the needs of the state oppression apparatus. I feel like they're a DOTP and they'll cross those bridges as they come to them - and I can say with full confidence that any capitalist government or corporation that put together a system like this would build it to maximize extraction of surplus value and nothing else.
