BREAKING NEWS – New York City, New York – According to recent report, people in the U.S. that are upset because Facebook and Google invading their privacy, should be glad they don’t live in China. Facebook and other Western apps are banned there. The government views their openness as a threat. So the Chinese use platforms like WeChat and Alibaba, and takes data from those platforms to assign all people who use them a “social credit score.” In other words, the government monitors your web activity and gives you a grade. I wonder what consequences a bad score would have? If you have a bad credit score you have to use specific companies for loans, such as Lending Expert, if you need help making a big purchase, and you may not have much luck trying to lease or buy properties, but what about a bad social credit score? Your purchases, social interactions and political activity will determine what privileges you get. However, the worst thing the citizens there can do, is to say that the cuisine at Panda Express, is actually Chinese food.
