I think this is a horrible idea.

Just imagine how many times we have been wrong in our judgement of the behaviour of citizens. What would the social credit score of Ghandi or Martin Luther Kind have been, at the time of their prominent actions?

We have proven time and time again that there is no sure way to judge how "social and acceptable" something is, and the value of a behaviour to our society.

What is seen as "unsocial" today may be applauded by historians in the future.

I'm pretty sure that's half of the point, stop any radicals from forming large followings.

Where radical means those that those the people in power in any way.

Yes but saying "screw the government" on social media today, doesn't really matter if it's going to be applauded in the future, it's still going to be aimed at the government, which is the whole point of the system.

Could you elaborate?

"Ghandi" -> Gandhi

The irony is unreal in this comment.
