Is this social credit stuff real? Weird experience with app scores

happened to my cousin too! got rejected from nursing program because "personality assessment" flagged her as "uncooperative" based on frickin TWITTER LIKES. she literally just likes sports arguments. system thought her "confrontational tendencies" made her "unsuitable for patient care"

Ur not paranoid, its called alternative credit scoring and getting implemented everywhere since like 2019. Banks etc realized traditional metrics miss profitable customers so they scan everything from browsing habits to text message frequency. Dystopian stuff but totally legal somehow

Bro they been doing this forever just upgraded the tech. Grandpa's generation had "character references" where neighbors could blacklist you from jobs. My parents had credit bureaus sharing rental history. We got AI scrapers. Same game, new tools 🤷‍♂️

Might want to check your phone permissions dude. Half these scoring apps require partner apps to grant microphone/location access. They literally listen for background noise patterns during "sleeping hours" to flag "irregular lifestyle" candidates

Worked at Clearview competitor (facial recognition). Retail chains share "disruptive customer" database across stores using facial matching. Raise your voice to customer service ONCE, good luck shopping anywhere in that corporate family again

lolol we're so behind. korea had this for years. friend can't get apartment in seoul because his gaming hours got flagged by national database

The expansion of predictive behavioral analytics in hiring represents unregulated discrimination. Systems flag autism spectrum candidates as "communication risks" and reject applications before human review. Neurodivergent applicants particularly vulnerable to these screening tools

Delete anything political immediately from all platforms. Client implemented screening tool flagging "contentious viewpoint risk" for customer-facing roles. Literally scans for political terms regardless of which side you support. 38% of applicants auto-rejected for political content

Recently built one of these systems (throwaway account obviously). Most people have no idea food delivery apps track meal sizes/times and sell data to insurance companies. Order too much food too late at night? Health insurance risk score literally increases

Check your email reply time patterns. Employers now scan how quickly you respond to messages during off-hours. Friend works at assessment company - system literally creates "work-life boundary respect" scores based on when you open emails. Too fast = desperate, too slow = uncommitted

College admissions doing this too now. Daughter's safety school monitors prospective students' social interactions with university accounts. Applications with "insufficient engagement" get lower priority regardless of academics

Welcome to networked reputation economy man. Nothing new just more efficient. Instead of small town where everyone knows that one shoplifter, now every store everywhere instantly knows. Consequences finally scaled to match technology

Digital marketer here. Advertisers have used engagement scoring for years - what's new is these systems merging with actual life opportunities. Ad targeting tools repurposed for tenant screening is wild ethical shift nobody voted on
