"Social Credit System" in China

If anyone has ever seen the "Nosedive" episode of Black Mirror, this is what it reminded me of.
quote:
In a contentious world first, China plans to implement a social credit system (officially referred to as a Social Credit Score or SCS) by 2020. The idea first appeared in a document from the State Council of China published in June 2014. It is a technological advancement so shocking to modern-minded paradigms that many can do little but sit back in defeatist chagrin as science fiction shows us its darker side.
The SCS seems relatively simple. Every citizen in China, which now has numbers swelling to well over 1.3 billion, would be given a score that, as a matter of public record, is available for all to see. This citizen score comes from monitoring an individual’s social behavior — from their spending habits and how regularly they pay bills, to their social interactions — and it’ll become the basis of that person’s trustworthiness, which would also be publicly ranked.
quote:
A citizen’s score affects their eligibility for a number of services, including the kinds of jobs or mortgages they can get, and it also impacts what schools their children qualify for. In this respect, the SCS resembles one of the most chilling episodes from Black Mirror’s third season. Incidentally, the show isn’t really known as “feel-good” flick. It presents various dystopian views of society, but China’s SCS proves reality is darker than fiction.

This has to be BS. Sounds exactly like the Black Mirror episode. Btw, wish season 4 would come out.

As creepy as this sounds, we (the west) probably aren’t far off from this.
Facebook and google could easily implement something like this.

Facebook and google are already the conduit for the deaths of thousands of jobs.

So China is giving out credit scores?
Posted on 12/2/17 at 1:34 pm to RebelVol
If this became only social scores, not like credit score type scoring, it could be the ultimate OT Trashy index. Low people are guaranteed to be more trashy than people in the upper tiers

Still swiping right all the time no matter what though

Don't we Americans have something like this very system? Also didn't this very system get hacked and over 150 million US citizens have their information stolen? I mean when you apply for jobs, most run a credit check on you, which is frickin retarded. Don't major loans go off our credit score as well? Seems like the chinese are doing the same. Maybe they won't get hacked?

Two things.
-This system will aggregate and take into account where you shop, who you associate with, what type of content you watch/listen too/read, and how and to what extent you’ve interacted with the authorities.
-This information will be made public to anyone who wants it.
While the idea is similar to a credit score, it’s really not even in the same zip code in terms of privacy concerns.

Holy shite that black mirror episode scared the frick out of me when I saw it because it seemed so likely. I didn't think it would come so soon though.

There is no way in the world y’all can’t see how quickly this would get called racist.
The idea of has me laughing thinking about it
The SJWs would almost have a heart attack if the score was determined on how you acted in public and paid your bills on time lol
