China’s plan to organize its society relies on ‘big data’ to rate everyone

[senona]

In this world, anything from defaulting on a loan to criticizing the ruling party, from running a red light to failing to care for your parents properly, could cause you to lose points. 

And in this world, your score becomes the ultimate truth of who you are — determining whether you can borrow money, get your children into the best schools or travel abroad; whether you get a room in a fancy hotel, a seat in a top restaurant — or even just get a date.

Wow, just wow.  

Am having a hard time getting my head to wrap around something like this. Damn.



Sounds like a SyFy movie we watched some years back, can't remember the name of it off hand.
But I thought at that time, what a crazy world that would be to live like that.


Appears to be coming a reality however.
Yikes.
