Plus social media & potentially even ISPs looking to sell user data, I wouldn’t be surprised if every aspect of your online life is fed into a system like this. And simply hiding your traffic won’t be good enough because not using these things would be considered abnormal — not having active (and well behaved) social media presence could be a big detriment to a score like this. Something that employers are likely to look at too.

On the one hand I appreciate the stuff a company like Apple does around privacy, but on the other they comply with whatever laws are in place in a given country. So we have to hope the state of our democracy improves because effectively becoming a one-party state changes the game — then we actually have to worry the government will encourage or mandate dystopian systems like this. Good actors in the private sector won’t be good enough to mitigate if that happens.

Somewhat related I also wouldn’t be surprised if within the next couple of decades all driving related data is being monitored and aggregated, so that could also be used to build sort of a social / behavioral profile on someone and not just feed into self driving AIs and insurance data

Already happening but is at least opt-in for now:

Well right now it’s relatively crude and opt-in via your insurance but at some point I expect much more detailed telemetry from (internet connected) vehicles by default
