The State Council of China issued a document ripped from the pages of a Black Mirror episode called Planning Outline for the Construction of a Social Credit System. Everything from your instant messages to what you search and say is recorded somewhere by brute force software agents cataloging every last digital drop. The latest Facebook and Cambridge Analytica scandal is just one in a long line of data abuses. The document was written in China and is now rolling out in China right now. It’s called the Social Credit system (SCS) and if it sounds like a dystopian sci-fi nightmare.
