Trump says China is evil
Yet he's having this Palantir database store everything similar to China's social credit score:
-Tax filings
-Student debt
-Social Security
-Bank accounts
-Medical claims
-Immigration status
Former Republican Representative Justin Amash: "The surveillance state...the police state...the deep state......are alive & well under Trump. He signed bills to extend & expand mass surveillance. Now he's building profiles' on millions of law-abiding Americans. It's an extraordinary threat to liberty." [1]
The real move is not to debate this stuff, but to prevent it from being in the database to begin with. It's hard to opt out of everything, but a good start is Linux, Degoogled phone, cryptocurrency, and encrypted messengers. Then self-host email and use VoIP (when a regular number is required). Finally consider buying things from parallel legal systems and economies. Slowly the resistance grows, through improving people's lives, and not violence on the street.
Ironically, the more you resist, the less dirt they have on you. And the better your "social credit score".

none of those things can be opted out of just by using a degoogled phone and alternative currency.
the need for an alternative education system, an alternative medical system, and an alternative social moré that values liberty over safety is greater now than ever in US history.
you're correct the problem can not be completely avoided by new tech alone. but new tech is the foundation for all of these other things, such as alternative social on secure devices. using alternative currencies to buy education or medical care
