Coming to America? China Introduces 'Credit Score' For Obedient Citizens

• http://www.infowars.com, Paul Joseph Watson

China's largest social networks have partnered with the country's Communist government to create a credit score system that will measure how obedient its citizens are, a chilling prospect that could one day arrive in America if social justice warriors get their way.

Entitled 'Sesame Credit', the program, "Aims to create a docile, compliant citizenry who are fiscally and morally responsible by employing a game-like format to create self-imposed, group social control. In other words, China gamified peer pressure to control its citizenry; and, though the scheme hasn't been fully implemented yet, it's already working — insidiously well," reports Zero Hedge.

Sesame Credit is operated by Alibaba and Tencent, two companies that run all the top social networks in China, including Weibo, which has over 200 million users. It works by measuring not only purchase and bill paying history but also "political compliance."
