Do you want a universal 'social credit system' with that?

china has one. Here in Australia one is being trialled in Darwin (where the port of darwin was sold to the Chinese by the current Republican federal government), and Italy is about to set one up.

It is one pillar of a plan being pushed hard by the World Economic Forum which includes this, fully digital ID's, and CDBC's (Central Bank Digital Currencies). Part of the 'own nothing - be happy' strategy.

USA has had credit ratings for years, a primary tool for the corporations and the Republicans to keep regular people mired in debt.

@plankter979 Credit ratings are a very different thing. Social credit scores are about monitoring every aspect of a person's daily life (mostly by electronic monitoring) and using that (via AI and other systems) to determine whether or not a person can access basic services such being allowed to leave their home, go to certain shops/businesses, use health and other medical services, open a bank account, buy shares or other investments, have a job, be allowed to travel, be allowed to have a passport, get married, subscribe to particular religions, access the internet, and lots more.

It's part of the 'you will have nothing but you will be (forced - almost) to be happy' mantra enshrined in the bigger picture termed the Great Reset. Covid and the covid drugs are a big part and they play into the social credit scoring system as well.
