It would also be easier to watch and seize the transations of people who oppose the governments. Maybe your tax would depend on your social score. It would allow to automatically punish not only the targets directly, but also everyone who interacts with them. Like, not only would the undesirables not be allowed to get a good job or study at university, they couldn't even buy an ice cream at the corner, because the vendor would be warned that if they accept their money, the vendor's social score will be reduced in turn. (And there is no way to accept the payment without the system seeing the transaction.) The companies would be warned that if they hire them, their tax rate will be increased. The government could enforce social ostracism even if most people wouldn't mind the thoughtcrime per se.
