Big Data Meets Big Brother as China Moves to Rate Its Citizens
Wired, 2017
Aperçu
China is rating its citizens. How would your score stack up?
Recommendation
In a system of perfect social control, not only would the government and big business monitor your every action, thought and movement, but so would your neighbors, colleagues, friends and even family. In a society such as this, would you begin to police yourself? Would you become a better person? The Chinese government believes so and is implementing a system designed to do just that. Author Rachel Botsman outlines China’s Social Credit System, which will become mandatory for all Chinese citizens by 2020. getAbstract recommends this article to anyone concerned about how their data may someday become a form of behavioral control.
