Who are Breitbart News?Breitbart News Network is an American far-right news, opinion, and commentary website. It was founded in 2007 by conservative commentator and media entrepreneur Andrew Breitbart, who envisioned the platform as a way to challenge what he perceived as the liberal bias of mainstream media and to "fight the culture war".
What is Social Credit?The Social Credit System is a national reputation system being developed by the Chinese government. By 2020, it is intended to standardise the assessment of citizens' and businesses' economic and social reputation, or 'Social Credit'. The system will be one unified system and there will be a single system-wide social credit score for each citizen and business. The system is considered as a form of mass surveillance which uses big data analysis technology. Critics will point to similar 'surveillance' systems already in operation in western countries.
