On reading about China’s social credit score… My mind instantly thought about Black Mirrors S3 ep1 Nose Dive.

Zhima credit, well I guess at least its more transparent than the scores mainly hidden by the likes of Uber, Airbnb, Facebook, etc. Although most are being more open about the scores now.
China now has social credit scores that help determine your place in society. Is this the future? Our great new @wired cover story: https://t.co/vCjXhUubbQ pic.twitter.com/QoiKcYBLO1
