According to the insider, the database is very similar to China’s social credit scoring system that tracks every detail of Chinese citizen’s lives, upon which China Asians them a “freedom score.”
The software they used to build it out was originally a #BigData analytics program for #SmartCities, like the one Google wants to build in #Toronto.
