While I see your point, social credit is not tracking, it is tracking with legal, economic, and political consequences. Given that the consequences to you of opting out of this tracking are little more than a minor inconvenience of your time, comparing it to the nightmare that is the social credit system is laughable. And, I would add, you're in part trivializing the horrendous impact of the social credit system by making this comparison, because it gives others the impression that this is merely a difference of degree, rather than of substance. It allows people to make arguments like "Oh, the US credit score is just like China's social credit score, so the social credit system can't be that bad." Yeah, NO. You don't get denied freedom of movement between cities or states because you owe a few dollars, you don't have your passport revoked because you don't use Google cookies, you're not forced to sit in the back of the bus because of something vaguely political you posted on twitter, you don't get denied the ability to send your kids to certain schools because you rolled a stop sign. The social credit system is not a _tracking system_, it is a _legal system_ (made possible by surveilance), and while the US may one day be there, to suggest they are anywhere even on the same planet yet is laughable. Your average person in the US still, even after decades of abuse, has innumerably more rights than your average Chinese citizen.
