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.

that's worse and Chinese style, I'm sure Australia and Italy are doing something completely different. In the US if you have a dispute with one company that makes it harder to impossible to get a house, a loan, etc.

@plankter979 The Darwin setup is an exact copy of what China is using - monitoring people via their phones, their internet, cctv, etc. In China it includes people's online banking, purchasing, etc. as part of determining how 'worthy' a person is to qualify for access to goods, services, etc.

@chockaholic2020 It's far worse - the spying is actually used to decide if you can or cannot do things, or access things. And it's being adopted more and more by governments of 1st world countries like ours. Think of all the monitoring your government does right now, and amplify it by about 10 or more. That's the Chinese social credit scoring system.
