The UnWoke Show Season 3 Episode 120: Social Credit in America: How Big Tech and Banks Control Access!

Growing concerns over digital privacy, corporate influence, and algorithmic decision-making have fueled comparisons between China's social credit system and the ways businesses collect, analyze, and use personal data in the United States. As technology becomes increasingly integrated into everyday life, questions about reputation, online behavior, and access to financial and digital services have become part of a broader national conversation. In this episode, we examine claims that corporations are using data, artificial intelligence, and automated systems to evaluate consumer behavior, influence opportunities, and shape public discourse. We also discuss examples involving financial institutions, hiring practices, social media platforms, and the growing debate over censorship, deplatforming, and digital privacy. As technology continues to reshape the relationship between individuals, corporations, and society, this episode explores the broader questions surrounding personal freedom, corporate accountability, algorithmic decision-making, and the future of privacy in the digital age.   Show Notes https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alternative_data?utm_source=chatgpt.com   https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Criticism_of_credit_scoring_systems_in_the_United_States?utm_source=chatgpt.com   https://www.journals.uchicago.edu/doi/full/10.1086/718358?utm_source=chatgpt.com   https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/why-we-need-alternate-credit-scoring-growing-markets-chaudry-mpm-2bgqf/   https://www.foxbusiness.com/media/jp-morgan-chase-makes-moves-prevent-religious-political-debanking     Social Media https://x.com/UnWokeTheShow https://bsky.app/profile/theunwokeshow.bsky.social https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61591818194574   Podcast links https://theunwokeshow.podbean.com/ https://open.spotify.com/show/27rkGZYhccSF8stUzzGxaI https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-unwoke-show/id1686015698 https://goodpods.com/podcasts/the-unwoke-show-309196 https://www.youtube.com/@TheUnWokeShow/videos?app=desktop   Feedback [email protected]
