International Monetary Fund (IMF) researchers see the possibility of using the data from your browsing, search, and purchase history to create a more accurate mechanism for determining the credit rating of an individual or business.
I don't know. I think some form of social credit type system could be useful. Especially as a replacement for the police state. Especially one with low downsides that allows people to recover their score by doing community service.
The wholly centralized American style system is a nightmare, but the way China's doing it with individual cities having their own programs and they only share data on the absolute worst offenders is a more same way.
The way that wired article describes it as more of a BBB with consequences is pretty good. It seems to mostly target businesses and business owners that are treating employees poorly or lying to customers. There are only a few million people on the no-fly list too, and that's not a permanent opaque thing like in America. You can just go pay your fine/do community service and you're good to go. I have a feeling the number is so high because there are a lot of people who just can't be bothered because they don't plan on flying anytime soon.
