Credit systems are used to predict if individuals will pay their loans such as mortgages or credit cards. China is using a similar concept for building a ‘social credit’ system that rates each person’s obedience and trustworthiness. It draws data from websites you visit, comments you have made, and other users you associate with. If you associate with users who have a low score, then like Google’s Page Rank, that will bring your score down. By 2020, it will be mandatory for all Chinese citizens to be enrolled.
One can imagine that belief in God will give you a low social score or if you are friends with people who have faith, then they could bring your score down.
How far this social score system reaches into people’s lives is unknown for now, but it has the potential to become a very nasty game.
