always very upsetting when people pretend not to understand the difference between an implicit system and an explicit one like this

I mean, the main problem with the Social Credit Score in China is that it's being implemented by an Authoritarian Socialist State, which automatically makes even innocent things sinister

Right. You can recognize that comparing what China's doing to credit scores in the US is nuts while still giving the Ban The Box people a fairer shake

The thing is I also am leaning toward anti ban the box, not because I object to the desired ends nor on principle but because empirically it seems to produce results that hurt the populations its trying to help Everything is very difficult :/

This seems eminently reasonable to me, except: a score is inherently objective. We subjectively 'score' people by these criteria, but assign different values. And also not every criteria necessarily have the same value in different circumstances, and in fact the +/- may invert.

to get my current job (regular jr level white collar job) involved a background check, credit check, and drug test - it was never explicitly stated that I wouldn't have been hired if I'd had some sort of conviction or bad credit - but the check certainly implied it
-
(it's not a job where any of that really matters outside a general sense, I'm not like handling money or doing financial statements or entrusted with industrial secrets or a public facing role)

"And you lynch negroes" rhetorics aside I genuinely think Western media doesn't help by overstating social credit system's extent and integration tbhhttps://verfassungsblog.de/untrustworthy-social-credit-isnt-what-you-think-it-is/ …

We are only in the preliminary stages, those behind the system regularly proclaim their intentions are to extend it.
