I don’t know. Personally, I like my freedoms and I wouldn’t like to live under a system implementing social credits as in China (have they done this? I’m not sure). However, I don’t know what will work in the long-run. There’s a lot of things I don’t like about China, but it has done a lot of things right. I also know they have fairly different values to the west, allegedly, a lot more weight put in the wellbeing of the collective, even at the expense of the individual.

So I bring China not as to put UK in a worse light, but to put an example of countries implementing these sort of systems of surveillance and enforcement.
