So in a scenario where social credit becomes a part of your economic health as an individual, what happens to friends and family that declare bankruptcy? They become some sort of pariah, avoided on Facebook and Twitter?

It'll be just like those social clubs that determine what you're allowed to do in your private life and who you're allowed to hang around if you wish to remain a member. Stratification would occur automatically out of fear, as each clings desperately to their social position and tries to keep their social graph pure now that it has real-world consequences.
- sukuriant 15y agoThis right here is my single greatest fear of banks knowing/using this information. If I befriend an undesirable (because I see past society's assumptions/the rough times this person has had in their life/whatever), or I care for an undesirable, I am punished. Of course, I would have to weigh if it's worth it (it probably is), but the fact that things like this may have to be considered is just depressing and wrong. Heaven help the preacher that friends his congregation. Not everyone comes from a rosey past.
