What's up with some users defending the Social Credit Score? Fuck outta here with that shit
Wouldn't be good for protestors. Wouldn't be good for anarchists. Wouldn't be good for people using someone else's ID for transit. If you're on this site, chances are you wouldn't be getting tax breaks for community service; you'd be getting blacklisted from trains for jaywalking or missing a dinner reservation. Like fuck, I'd consider myself a Tankie, but I don't see an upside remotely worth the cost of this.
Not to mention the surveillance required to make social credit viable. 'Actual credit in America is even worse!' is a bullshit argument too.
Because it's literally a credit score, for debt and loans. It's entire purpose is to serve exactly the same function that credit scores function in any other country.
You're freaking out about its effect on a bunch of things it has zero effect on at all. Your entire concept of it comes from people that have maliciously lied to you about what something with a scary name like "(social) credit score" could be if it were completely and totally different to how the Chinese are ACTUALLY implementing it.
