Imagine a world where the government tracks your every move, text, email, and social media post. A government that not only knows all of your deepest darkest secrets, but controls every almost every aspect of your life through surveillance. This Orwellian scenario is a reality for hundreds of millions of Chinese people who have accepted Big Brother's over reaching influence on their daily lives thanks to a newly introduced social credit system. China says the new program is aimed at improving the lives of everyday citizens, but critics argue that it's really a draconian form of government control designed to control and even change people's behavior through oppression and public shaming.
