I've posted this article before, in response to a similar comment. This system isn't exactly what you might think. I greatly encourage further discussion or criticism having to do with this piece and this system in general:

Perhaps I'm misunderstanding a lot here?

The article title flat-out says the "social credit score isn't real", and then outlines in a nuanced way exactly how it is real.

Sure, there is plenty of negative rhetoric that surrounds the topic, but at best what I can understand here is that there is no (verified) single aggregate score being leveraged against anyone...?

I'm not sure how this distinction is meaningful?
