You know, I could see this as being a good thing. Especially because it's not quite like China's system, as Yang's only stacks up credits for people who do good things, but it doesn't take away points for people who do bad things or don't act right.
Rewarding people for doing good sounds like a decent idea. And no, it doesn't penalize you for anything. This is just a bunch of fear mongering from people who don't like Yang.
And, for you people who think Yang is proposing a system just like China's, you should read the whole link. From the OP's link......................
Yang’s social credit plan bears some similarities to the social credit system implemented by China’s authoritarian government.
Every citizen in China is assigned a social credit score that determines whether they can buy plane or train tickets.
Unlike the Chinese system, Yang’s plan does not include using digital social credit for punitive measures.
Campaign chair Matt Shinners emphasized in an email to The Daily Caller News Foundation that Yang’s system lacks the coercive element featured in China’s social credit system:
My understanding of the Chinese system (which is admittedly limited) is that it’s more of a rating that’s externally imposed based on a number of non-opt-in factors, almost like a credit rating, and collates information captured from public surveillance, economic and social media activity, etc… to create a ‘score’ that would then, possibly, be used to ‘blacklist’ people from certain activities. Under my understanding, the Chinese system is more of a score/rating than a system of credits.
Andrew’s platform calls for a system that’s much more akin to time banking, or to points that people earn on their credit cards. There’s no general monitoring of individual activity, and no scraping of social media sites to see what people are up to. Instead, activities such as volunteering or helping your neighbors would earn you credits that could then be traded with others for receiving similar help. For example, I spend 4 hours/week coaching a hockey team in my community, and I use the credits I earn to have a local electrician (who possibly has a kid on the team) help me install a garage door opener. There would also be backing by the federal government for conversion to currency (that would be taxed), or traded in for “fun” activities (such as getting to attend a bill signing).
Which Democratic candidate was that, again?

Oh, right, the guy that doesn't even have a snowball's-chance-in-hell of obtaining the Democratic nomination...Which Democratic candidate was that, again?
The black-haired Eastern-looking guy with the lemon-colored skin and angled eyes.

Much ado about nothing, I'm afraid...Again...................it won't penalize you for anything, but rather will reward you for doing charity work and good things.
Here are some Fortune 500 companies that offer incentives for volunteering and doing charity work. Are they Stalinist as well?
These 10 companies offer big incentives for volunteering

There are corporations and companies that reward their workers with financial incentives for volunteering and doing charity work, are they communists as well?

"Unlike the Chinese system, Yang’s plan does not include using digital social credit for punitive measures..."
Why should I trust anything coming from that bunch of Democrat reprobates?
Of course they're going to test the idea with a non viable candidate first.Oh, right, the guy that doesn't even have a snowball's-chance-in-hell of obtaining the Democratic nomination...Which Democratic candidate was that, again?
The black-haired Eastern-looking guy with the lemon-colored skin and angled eyes.
For a minute there, I thought you were talking about somebody that we had to actually take seriously...
