lulz obviously you get put on the super terrorist list. Joking aside though, the social credit system backdoor is going to be real. I suspect the ploy is going to go something like this.

. Game devs get government money in a new scheme partially to keep them afloat and track people they view as extremists, the new big thing that gets artificially astroturfed online by everyone to peer pressure gamers into playing it and doxxing themselves will kick off

. Probably going to cross check usernames with payment info to track people if they're flagged

. Data gathered will be automatically handed over to intelligence agencies and the ADL who will then use that data to maintain lists

. Cue gamers being mysteriously harassed by glowies later down the line over things they've been flagged for and being denied mortgages, employment and bank accounts depending on the severity of their actions

. Depending on the legal aspect of this they will likely implement some form of non-hate crime incident as they do in the UK but that depends on what they can do in the west generally and in the US, this is so they can maintain some kind of quasi-private list everyone on the back end has access to and check against gamers because little 12 year old Timmy yelling a racial slur after getting headshotted and teabagged in Call of Duty is going to be grounds for concern

This is how they will backdoor hate speech law, expect tracking on this scale to increase through social media as well. Even if it's not written into law in a country, you can bet your arse that employers will be complying. All of this will be done through the use of private companies and services so they won't even necessarily need to pass any laws to get it done.
