This story wouldn't be so damn weird (okay, yes it would) if I hadn't just watched Black Mirror on Netflix last night. Could you imagine living in a society that used "social credit" scores? :eek:

Planning documents apparently describe the system as being created to “allow the trustworthy to roam everywhere under heaven while making it hard for the discredited to take a single step.” The Journal claims that the system will at first log “infractions such as fare cheating, jaywalking and violating family-planning rules” but will be expanded in the future—potentially even to Internet activity.

If this was in California, they would add infractions such as saying the name Trump or disagreeing with any of the politically correct garbage that passes "thought" out here.
 
Finally! I'm sick and tired of carrying all of your dead weight. 2.0 or above or get the hell out of my circle.
 
That episode of Black Mirror actually made me worry... Now my worries are coming true!
 
Hmmm, I wonder if one racks up a crappy score, will they be allowed to leave the country. There's no point in staying if one can't utilize any kind of services. (Probably have to walk out of the country.)

No. China has no problem confiscating the passports of entire regions (Xinjiang has a population larger than the US's third most populated state).

I laugh whenever people talk about how the US has become a police state. They have no freaking idea what a police state is.
 
Coming soon to America... the words "orange", "tiny", and "bankruptcy" will all be removed online without any notice.
 
I saw that Black Mirror episode a couple weeks ago, was the very first thing I thought of when I first saw a headline about this thing. Very weird.
