Yandex is a good example, VK - I’m not certain of that.
Anyway, what I meant is that such kind of social rating needs to source data from somewhere. That means integration with quite a lot of systems built for the Russian state, which often suck a lot. It’s normal that half the time remote payments for utilities don’t work, for example.
I mean, yeah, they can. But if it’s going to be some nation-wide system for the government, the bureaucracy will practically kill this.

Luckily “the West” isn’t just the U.S. - it’s also France, the U.K., Mexico and even Australia…

True! I’ve been too focused on our local politics lately!

That’s a monopoly I appreciate. Although it’s marginal depending on a number of factors.
