Alejandro,

You are of course right here. There are multiple worries including an unlimited invasion of privacy, government monitoring and evaluation of personal behavior, and a "Social Credit Score" to be used by whom and for what? Consider a system where your 100% personal opinion (below) posted on ncsg-discuss becomes input into Alejandro Acosta's government file used to determined your Social Credit Score. As the recent posting about Ireland and the recent events in India indicate, we are on the edge of an impending Internet enclosure movement where the net neutrality area was just the first border skirmish.

Not being an expert I would say that more regulations is more
bureaucracy which makes everything slower and inefficient creating more
corruption. Generally speaking results are not good for anybody.

100% My personal opinion.

I wish I'm wrong.

Alejandro,

This looks like one more "fence" being added to the Internet enclosure
movement:

"The Chinese government is currently implementing a nationwide
electronic system, called the Social Credit System, attributing to
each of its 1,3 billion citizens a score for his or her behavior. The
system will be based on various criteria, ranging from financial
credibility and criminal record to social media behavior. From 2020
onwards each adult citizen should, besides his identity card, have
such a credit code."
