About This Trend
Social credit scoringwas initiated by China in 2014 and this system continues to evolve. A person's social credit score plays a significant role in various aspects of their life. It can influence whether someone is eligible for a loan, their freedom to travel internationally, and even their social interactions. Although this social credit system may not be as intimidating as it is sometimes perceived, the potential it holds for social engineering is significant.
