Ask HN: Will contact tracing lead to a Chinese style social credit system?
From a strictly technical perspective, having society in western countries change to make contact tracing common place, is this setting the stage to make it much easier in the future to implement a social credit system as being used in some Asian countries?
- runjake 6y agoNot directly, no. Very indirectly? Maybe. But I think American style social credit will happen via corporations (eg. Facebook).
