In 2018 Google helped the Chinese Communists develop a social credit scoring system. The scoring system, first announced in 2014, rates China’s one billion citizens based on their behavior and associations.
Already, nine million people with low scores have been blocked from buying tickets for domestic flights and trains.
As horrible as this sounds the Silicon Valley tech giants are using a similar system here in the United States.
It is clear these tech giants are colluding to target certain prominent conservatives.
And Facebook is using offline behavior to factor into their scoring system.
In 2019 Breitbart’s Allum Bokhari revealed that Facebook is using a similar social credit scoring system on Americans.
This is no surprise to those who have noticed the growing intolerance by big tech to conservative thought leaders and publishers.
Justin Haskins discusses the new Merril Lynch “ESG Customer Scores” with Glenn.
But it’s not just the tech giants.
Now financial giant Merrill Lynch is assigning an Orwellian Environmental Social and Governance (ESG) score to their customers.
Justin Haskins from The Heartland Institute joined Glenn Beck last week to discuss this shocking new development in the US financial world.

We’re in the mortgage business, and I told my wife not too long ago that it’s possible this social credit score crap may affect us in the future.
I can certainly see them adding a question to the mortgage application asking if the homeowner owns guns, or plans to have guns in the household. Answering yes could give lenders reason to deny the loan, and since they’re private businesses I’m not sure it would be illegal. They’re already denying credit to gun and ammo manufacturers, so I can easily see them denying credit to gun-owning consumers.
Akin to IBM helping the Nazis with tabulation solutions in counting, classifying the Jews.....
Fweeeeeeee market......weeeee
Do you consider yourself a Christian?
Add them to your boycott list.
In a sane world the cake shop case should put that one to rest — the rule of reciprocity should apply. In a sane world.
If you can force a cake shop owner to make a cake, against his religion, you can force a bank to do business with Christians. Or gun owners. Or gun manufacturers. But we don’t live in a sane world. Or we don’t have anyone using this argument and fighting hard enough.
That leaves the field open for new financial interests to arise who are not going to game people.
BofA owns Merrill now after the crash dive of 98.
You misspelled Will ...
I’m 68. I own no real estate, no cars, no loans.
I’m a disabled veteran.
Your scorings mean nothing to me.
But we don’t live in a sane world. Or we don’t have anyone using this argument and fighting hard enough.
We live in a post-constitutional country. It’s that simple. Our rights have been trampled for the last five years and our elected leaders couldn’t care less.
Discrimination in lending based on religion is prohibited by Federal law. Any competent lawyer could chew them up & spit them out if they tried it.
However, in light of how things are going right now and with Roberts siding with the libs on SCOTUS....all bets are off right now.
Look at the recent ruling on churches in CA...what should have been at least a 6-3 decision was 5-4 with Roberts siding with the libs.
“Merrill Lynch is assigning an Orwellian Environmental Social and Governance (ESG) score”
more garbage from GP & Glenn Beck:the ESG scores by ML rank corporations (not customers) and are for the purpose assuaging woke investment customers:

Sure, they’ll start with the corporations first to work out the kinks, before working its way to individuals.
