"How far into people's daily mundane activities does this go?" Tracy asked him.

"Well, I think that the government and the people running the plan would like it to go as deeply as possible to determine how to allocate benefits and also how to impact and shape their behavior," DeWoskin said.

There are upsides if the Chinese government considers you "trustworthy." Those people can get discounts on energy bills, better interest rates at banks, and China's largest online dating site reportedly even boosts the profiles of people with good social credit scores.


Welp.

Yes, however

Other mooted punishable offences include spending too long playing video games, wasting money on frivolous purchases and posting on social media.

His defense is basically that the punishments are just and not as bad as the media is making them out to be. It's still the same in principal.

This is bad. Sins of the father/mother impacting children. Society shunning people which will lead to these shunned people acting out since they will fear they have no where to turn.

Political dissidents being shunned so people afraid to speak out. Such an awful sysfem

And the scary thing is I've heard whispers from my more conservative friends that they think this sort of system would work over here.

This is the sort of thing that makes Horseshoe Theory incredibly obvious.
