I think the adoption of 3d secure will be better in preventing fraud than giving banks more access to my personal information.

I suspect access to this information won't be limited to fraud detection but loans, mortgages, etc.

What happens to people like me who don't really use social media as well?

I'm in that same boat. My guess is it's going to end up being just like having no credit previously. The advice is to open a credit card and use it a little bit every month and pay it off entirely to build up your credit. They will recommend creating social media accounts and posting a little bit regularly so that your social media credit score can build.

I'm afraid we are building ourselves a tech dystopia, not the bright future that most of us have thought.

Hey, now there's a great use for genAI. If we decline to the point where social media use is basically required, I'd totally just set up an LLM to post made-up stuff automatically for me so I won't have to bother doing it myself.

They are not talking about that, they are trying to catch money laundering and traffics etc. And using that as an excuse to suck all of people data for marketing.
