Welcome to the beginning of the US social credit score system.

Today - visa interviews, tomorrow - citizens in the US.

Went to a No Kings rally? Ooops, -2000 points, now you can’t board a plane.

And now I can’t get a visa :(

You have credit score and a society that builds on it. The concept is far from new, it's just being extended.

(The way your credit score is designed is nether common nor normal outside of the US. And is a strange concept to anyone else as well. It's not much off an social score for the poor as it looks from the outside)

Maybe, but it's a bit like extending the concept of a grenade to a nuclear bomb. The amount of the 'concept' applied matters substantially.
