Comment on Russia launches "social rating" platform to determine a person’s comparative “social status”
silkroadtraveler@lemmy.today 4 months agoComparing run of the mill government services with something as advantageous as a social credit app is not apples to apples. It’s not like they assign utility administrators to work for GRU hacking units. The people that build this tool will be highly paid technical experts. And there is no shortage of them in Russia. It’s definitely not 100% but there’s a decent chance they can cobble together a working system that tracks social scores for the vast majority of Russian citizens.

Social scores would logically depend on the data sourced from things working as I described.
But you may be right, of course.

Ah I see what you mean(t). You would have to have working systems with clean-enough data in the first place to integrate with in order to develop a system like this. Not just the expertise to develop it.
