    Per Wikipedia:

    The program first emerged in the early 2000s, inspired by the credit scoring systems in other countries.

    It’s almost the same thing but a different name, and is nationalized to a state system instead of like 3 or 4 companies lmao

        I mean, that’s also pretty awesome that there’s decent regulations as part of it(at least nominally, I don’t live there so can’t say for certain), but it seems to be primarily a banking/lending thing similar to in the US which is what a lot of jingoistic fearmongering types either completely miss or purposely ignore.

        It’s decidedly not a surveillance thing, which is the funny part.
