This American is all for banning facial recognition, with stiff penalties for the person in charge of any company or agency who breaks this ban. The US is not China and the government exists to serve and protect its citizens. At least in theory.

Nothing intellectual to say, but this is not the future most Americans want. Privatized social credit system incoming?

There's a pretty big split between what Americans want and what the US government wants. Same for EU and European citizens.
Compared to this, the governmental credit system of China seems to me a giant improvement, no?
It would be if it existed.
