https://www.wired.com/story/age-of-soci ... =social_fb Big new thing in China apparently. The Chinese government and private companies are developing a “social credit score” for individuals. On top of credit score things like repaying loans and shit, it would also keep track of your activities, violations like traffic tickets, and recorded acts of dishonesty like cheating/plagiarism in college. I can’t really see something like this catching on here. |

Now that I think about it, this quote could have easily come from DiCaro as well.

Many people willingly give this information away, and other info like this can be found easily by anyone with time. |

We just bitch about each other online. |

We just bitch about each other online. We do--at least when you are a candidate for a job. We willingly feed into it, too. I'm terrified of when a student discovers me on here (because of all the intentionally non-PC things I say). Recorded acts of dishonesty....my goodness. |

I can’t really see something like this catching on here.  While not linked together we do stuff like this here in the US. You have the doctors medical file, you have a file that follows you during your elementary and high school years and I am pretty sure that your HR dept has a file on you as well. Not to mention your police/FBI file. |
