I'd love an example.
- Krasnol 5y agoCredit scores, racial profiling and other data based discriminations
- ApolloFortyNine 5y ago>Credit scores At least you started off with by far your worst example. The alternative to credit scores is only the wealthy getting loans, full stop. Any alternative would require a human being combing your finances for hours, which would obviously substantially raise the cost of loaning money.
- Krasnol 5y agoOh so let's build scores based upon social media interactions and google results because this is fair? What? No. Not ANY alternative would require a human. There are a few numbers you actually need. You should have to ASK for those!! Besides that: I don't care about someone losing money because they actually have to sit down a human to verify data which is relevant. This is what humans are good for and if it cost you, you can put it on a bill.
