    China:

    where every citizen will be scored based on their behavior. Good actions, like volunteering, and bad, like littering, are tracked using algorithms, artificial intelligence and facial recognition — and there are real consequences for a high or low score.

    Really? Does your bank change your credit score if you’re a good boy? Your credit card company if you volunteer? Your home loan company give you a better rate if you make a viral tiktok video showing how great the United States are?

    No? Of course not. Because they’re absolutely not the same thing.

      Yes, your credit score goes up if you’re a good boy (helping rich people get more rich) and goes down if you’re a bad boy (being financially responsible by not borrowing money).

      My mom adding and subtracting Good Boy Points based on whether I do my chores or not is literally communism

      You do realise the thing you’re describing doesn’t exist? Like you’ve amplified the exaggerated headlines from people imagining how bad a social credit system could be but that’s not something that has ever actually existed.
