China to launch ‘Black Mirror’ style social credit system by 2020

Okay, this thread isn't about China. But it just so happens China is the first to implement this kind of thing.

"Social credit" the Chinese "Communist" Party calls it. Mind control might be how others call it.

If you do something "wrong" your social credit score goes down. I also believe that your "friends" on social media like wechat will also see their scores go down.
Buying alcohol (it's legal, so what the fuck?) will reduce your score, crime, tax evasion too.
Doing community service and buying Chinese goods will increase your score (again, what the fuck?).

If your score is too low, you can't use public transport (fucking hell) go to a "good" university, basically there'll be a caste system whereby poor people won't be able to get out of the hell the govt has created for them. The rich will probably pay people to do their community service for them.

Can you imagine being able to do 100 hours of community service in one day so your kid can go to university and you get VIP treatment?

Now, from China to the rest of the world. The US is becoming more and more like China, more controlling. They'll see this social credit system "working" and they'll jump at it, who wouldn't?

This is the future. Mind control, what the leader say is good, what you say... who gives a fuck what you say?

Google is probably implementing the software.

Yep, I hear FB is using it in the US for their "trust" rating system.

China is China. They do what they want. It doesn’t somehow mean the rest of the world is fucked. I saw the “Black Mirror” episode you’re talking about. It’s entertaining of course, but not at all realistic.

 

[EverCurious]

Nope the rest of the world is fucked too, sorry. At least if they use FB anyway. See the secret FB trust rating system - FB Trust rating - Bing

You don't see how the rest of the world is fuck huh?

Right.....

Have you seen what China's up to? Have you see what the US govt gets up to? When this works, because it will work, the US will start implementing something similar in the name of "security".

Correct.

China is neither ‘communist’ nor is it ‘the left.’

China is an authoritarian single party dictatorship.

And a policy such as this to compel social conformity is typical of authoritarians, including American conservatives – the right’s desire to disadvantage gay and transgender Americans and their hostility toward the right to privacy are examples of authoritarian conservatives’ desire to compel conformity.

China has always been this way.

It just sounds like an expansion of their Dang'an system. Their system of record keeping and tracking the citizen from birth to death would and has always been invasive and onerous to us. And. . our system has always wanted to emulate it.

But, the statists and leftists here always have the motto, "If you are doing nothing wrong, you have nothing to hide," to justify this sort of state intrusiveness.

The poster Mindwars was always warning about this sort of stuff, she was continually and roundly made fun of.

did they finally watch tom hanks in "the circle"? didn't they do something like this in that movie?

the left (ie, your side) may jump at it but over here, the right is likely to ignore it and just build around the stupid.
