Scored by Society: The Quiet Rise of Social Credit in America
What if your Uber rating was the reason you couldn’t get picked up… or your Netflix habits impacted your ability to rent a car?
This week on InSight Out, Devin Almonte explores the unsettling rise of social credit-style systems in America. Not government-run like China’s, but built quietly by private companies, apps, and data brokers.
In this episode, you’ll hear:
- How a 4.89 Uber rating could keep you from rides
- How Experian Boost and car insurance trackers might be shaping your reputation
- The eerie accuracy of the Black Mirror episode “Nosedive”
- Why being digitally invisible could flag you as “high risk”
- What Scripture says about true worth, character, and being transformed rather than conformed
You’ll also hear real TikTok clips and congressional testimony that show just how far we’ve drifted from simple financial scores to complex behavioral evaluations.
