The US is already primed for a corporatocracy with multiple avenues of 'social credit rating' run by various companies.<p>China's social credit system is certainly further along, more encompassing, and more controlled by the government.<p>The semantics surrounding social credit rating perception is interesting. On one hand, every opportunity is taken to ridicule China's system as being a dystopian hellscape because it is driven by the CCP. On the other hand, large mega-corps can introduce marketing and PR plans to justify social credit is good to have, and people will just accept it as part of their lives without much thought all the same.<p>It's like staring at a fork in the road, where the US and China have selected different paths, but both lead to similar potentially bad destinations of some group controlling a larger group.<p>Just saying <i>"but we're the good guys"</i> is a myopic view of a much grander, more nebulous discussion.
I did not find a reference just now, but I recently read that the CCP has at least <i>published</i> their rules for scoring. Which is more than I expect will be the case in the US.
