China's social credit score is the future GDPR is working to prevent.

It's actually a bit worse for poor people; they don't get ignored by advertisers and instead are directly targeted for highly abusive lending practices (payday loans, rent to own, outright scams relying on desperation). There's an advertiser for every market segment.

A government regulation can’t work to prevent another government regulation. Especially not in a parliamentary system that can change its own constitution.

(Or just ignore its constitution like China does.)
