ughhh totally heard this terrifying China social credit score nonsense. This is getting ridiculous - as someone from the "lower" class with a poor credit score (I couldn't rent bowling shoes if I wanted LOL) but you know what I'm a good person ! That score does not represent me..
These data brokers are freakin' terrifying..
why the hell do we have this need for categorizing, labeling and boxing people up into these markets.. this big data monster is wildly out of control and spreading into everything. This video made my blood boil... ugghh
