In other words, if your name were “Googled” by another person, or even a
business, what would they find? Are there pictures, videos, comments, etc.
available about/by you that would cast doubt about your personality,
trustworthiness or morals? What does the information about you, available on
the internet for anyone to see, say about you as a person (positive or
negative).

"Social Media Credit Score - A measurement of social risk, for an individual,
based on information available through social media outlets.

I think that
for this to have any legitimacy, there would have to be some manner to link
the person researched with the person found. I know there are two people in
the city where I lived a few years ago that have my same first and last name -
one of whom shares my middle initial.

Credit companies (or others who use
unverifiable information) are opening themselves up to quite a bit of
litigation if they hold one "John Q. Public" liable for the actions / postings
of another "John Q. Public". That's not even getting into how much of a farce
this will be when/if people catch on and purposefully post damaging
information about others or simply start going by screen names (as many
already do) to avoid this kind of issue.
