What if everywhere you went, everything you did and everyone you interacted with was rated? What if the total score of those ratings were made public and entitled you to great perks but also, great stress and sufferings? Now, imagine that it was all a mandatory system that you cannot escape from or shut down as it dictated your place in society! No need to wonder at all, its called a “Social Credit Score” and it will be mandatory in China by 2020. [Original air: 1.16.18 / http://j.mp/2HLUUBE ]
