What's your (social) credit rating.

[Ribenapigeon]

Those whacky Chinese are on top Orwellian form with this.

So, how long before our superiors introduced this here in Blighty?

You fucking piece of shit.

What a nightmare world, where people are held accountable for their choices and actions, and the trusting are protected from the predatory.

I'll get to work on that 5th blob, I guess.

From my standpoint, its already happening here (as in western countries). Try doing anything with a bad credit rating, especially in an economy forcing the use of credit cards in place of cash. Most of the young are being trained to use a heavily data mined smart phone to do everything, most of their life-styles are already mapped and stored. The Chinese are just planning to do what Experion has quite openly for years.

Sounds like they're adopting our class system.

I think the risk management aspect is interesting. That this system protects the state/society/system from potentially hazardous individuals. Ive suspected for a long time that many of the laws and enforcement agencies and standards wd have are essentially just risk management. There to protect some elite groups from the chaotic and potentially dangerously free thinking rest of us.

Can't be arsed to read the details but it's nothing that is in use in some form here already. Someone already said credit ratings, so with that, add in criminal records, web activity and everything else I'm sure they monitor now but don't tell you and you are approaching that sort of shite already.

My new Firefox in the highlights already has a prominently displayed picture of nobcat (uncensored) from where ste put a link on a thread and I (stupidly) opened it. If my browser does it, I'm sure GCHQ has a quick look every now and again.

The difference appears to be that in free and open UKia, only the State and Big Business can find out if you're scamscum. In despotic China, regular people will be able to see each other's worth. Madness!

This is really old news, and as others have said it's nothing different from the public ratings systems we already go by.

It's perfectly acceptable to rate businesses, products, ebay sellers etc, or to be openly hostile about a certain person or entity on social media. Giving people incentives to be socially 'good' is hardly a leap into the unknown.

Only counterargument that could be made is that the idea of 'good' is going to be whatever the state deems to be 'good'. However, those who automatically start thinking of 1984, widespread oppression or dumbing down of the masses need only look around themselves for a few minutes to see how this is happening in 'The Free World' already.
