Yes. I received a request to build a social credit score solution based on credit card purchases for rewarding ESG-type behavior. And I have received multiple requests to build AI censorship software (I want to say, a half dozen). Since then, both of these ideas have been promoted by the World Economic Forum ... basically confirming to me, personally, this is going to happen. This is all fine and dandy if it's opt-in or volunteer based, but I can't help to think during COVID I found I was basically a non-person because I did not have a smartphone. Essentially many places required a smartphone app to physically access or purchase an item or service. They will use something like this to force obedience. And it will be a total disaster..

ESG and social credit seem like two looming dystopias that the first world is going to run headlong into.

  The west has always been at the forefront of building/creating social credit.

Yep. Also don't have a smartphone. Also experience coercion due to it.

> Yes. I received a request to build a social credit score solution based on credit card purchases for rewarding ESG-type behavior. Hmm, I'd be interested to hear more. I thought ESG was a metric by which investors and funds judge companies/industries, but it sounds like this system was intended to judge individual consumers? For what purpose?

This is an extraordinary claim. Proof? Does not seem to match your previous post history. You mention not having a smart phone and then in previous posts it sounds like you do…

Should paying cash be constitutional right? Should using technical device like PC or smartphone be mandated to use by law? Our system has (for now) laws that makes lobbying harder. But if masses don't care about laws, then I would say consumerism damaged society. Last two years radically changed my view for conformity behavior.
