Lovely People digs into Social Credit-style life

From Lovely People, a graphic novel about bunnies living under a Social Credit system
 In China, people are given points or have points removed on a government-run database according to their behaviour. This is called Social Credit. It affects each person's ability to use transport, banks, education, and much more.  Moreover, many people see Western governments and social media organisations like Facebook, Twitter and Google's YouTube increasingly acting as if they are part of a Social Credit system. A short graphic novel just out explores life under this kind of social checking. It’s written and drawn by Minna Sundberg, a Finnish graphic artist. You can access it here.  Enjoy the artist's creative approach to the issue.
