>The Social Credit System is a national reputation system being developed by the Chinese government. By 2020, it is intended to standardise the assessment of citizens' economic and social reputation, or 'Social Credit'.

IT'S COMING HERE NEXT BOYS

The Chinese are the joo of Asia. it's the next logical move for world domination. Hype!.
Because the Chinese are doing it, there is no chance it will catch on in the west. Besides we have Twitter and Facebook. The people are already doing all the work for the government.
It's not just chinks being chinks, it's the logical next step for neoliberal capitalism. They just move a little faster over there because their economy is lubed up by an authoritarian government without all the timewasting shenanigans of democracy
tfw you realize there is a dark connection between the chinese government, tencent and censorship on the internet
>oh no I can't be a shit person anymore
Yikes
Social credit is already here in the west, its just there in a piecemeal kind of way - your resume, your social media activity, your financial credit score, etc.
Just like how Steve Jobs mashed together a bunch of existing technologies into a slick iPhone, some company will do the same with social credit. Doesn't matter much if that company is government-backed or not.
>A full social profile is created from data including location, friends, health records, insurance, private messages, financial position, smart home statistics, preferred newspapers, shopping history, and dating behaviour.
Hasn't this always been the case in the PRC?
>Social credit is already here in the west, its just there in a piecemeal kind of way - your resume, your social media activity, your financial credit score, etc.
this. soon you resume will be automatically filtered out by some obscure Google's algorithm that in reality will be part of the hidden social credit system.
Like a no-fly list, but actually a no-job or no-insurance list.
Exactly, private companies are already doing what the Chinese government has to actively set up because of gommunism. It's just another business for people in the west.
nah man, there would be lawsuits for decades to come if it was ever implemented here. But interesting enough there are a few information scraper sites that have implemented social ratings on people. Type your name in and you will probably find one with a rating.
Update, the sites called Mylife.com
Yes. If you are falling behind it's time to arm yourself and start selling drugs or something, or plan an exit strategy. We don't have much time left.
>the definition of 'shit person', and the whole conversation about morality itself, is now under the complete control of big business and authoritarian government
Admittedly not an entirely new concept, but disturbing nonetheless
>there would be lawsuits for decades to come if it was ever implemented here
There would be one, and the person suing would lose. These companies know better than to do this shit without a team of lawyers and LLCs to hide behind.
>Admittedly not an entirely new concept
No, but it previously existed only in fiction.
Kill yourself you worthless pig.
That's already a thing tho
Just a tiny bit more individually. I assume it will be the same as now just on paper. A guy at a job interview will check that shit instead of asking for your info personally and standards in big corps have always been coldly objective.
As long as they don't start sending help-packages or insert a way harder standards stem in society or other bullshit I dont see the problem
I won't get employed either way
The thing that scares me the most is that innocent autists like us would be lumped in with psychopaths, junkies, and all manner of scum. You can get a low score by saying somethign awkward to an influential girl or by doing prison time. People are too lazy to judge individuals case-by-case, they're just going to assume the worst if they see someone with a low score.
t. Shit person
>A guy at a job interview will check that shit instead of asking for your info personally
That's where you're wrong - it will be a computer program, not a guy. First only for big companies like Walmart or McD's that go through millions of employees per year, then the technology will become available to any company
I'm not really bothered. Just interested in observing where it all goes in my lifetime.
I've pretty much opted out of society anyway.
Not only are people sometimes too lazy, but in many situations it's a risk that just doesn't make sense to take. Maybe that potential employee really isn't a bad person, but on the other hand here are 10 others who have good social credit.
Can I get information for that shit that isn't an autistic clickbait greentext?
How does it work exactly?
yall seen Psycho-pass?
It was always bound to end like this. No-one can resist the allure of being a fly on the wall inside every single house.
Nope. Is it worth watching?
Welp that sounds bad. I was gonna checkout from society anyway because my dreams that would have required this are already proofed so meh.
I still hope it won't evolve into minority report where you already get arrested for critical development or some kind of perfectionist society, and the problem will be left to college-cucks who want to become engineers at apple.
They ruined Siege.
Another important point here is that in China, you can literally purchase social credit through 'donations' to certain companies. So the rich will all have high scores and the poor will be stuck in the rut. Marx would have seen it coming. And of course this goes right along with the current "having money = evidence that you're a hard worker and deserve it, poorfags are poor because they're lazy lol" attitude of today's political right.
Google it faggit, you're on a computer
Exactly, people like Louis CK would just buy their way out of shit while autists and NEETs who did nothing but sit in their room and jerk off would be permanently unemployed. If there are people out there who seriously don't understand how this can go wrong they have no reason to exist.
Fuck off ch*Nks

I'd say for the people promoting it that's a feature, not a bug.
That Was An Impressive Number Of Consecutive Words Capitalized Now Kill Yourself Because It Makes Everyone Else's Eyes Bleed
Yes. Kinda revolves around the idea of a goverment that has a social credit system, and decides what to do with criminals etc., then there's a M. Night Shyamalan -tier twist
How is that going wrong? Useless autists and neets starve to death while productive people actually get an opportunity to contribute.
Autists and NEETs already aren't contributing because of a shadow social credit system. What kind of person has any interest vested in keeping them from entry level jobs like stocking shelves? Christ, eat a fucking lead pill already.
Would you want to have your food handled by under-class scum? Would you want to have to interact with them in entry level jobs as the person stocking food in your local supermarket or have to let them handle the things you want to buy behind a till?
The less we have to see of them, the better.
I like my freedom user
I am admitting I am just a shitty lazy person and thats better than bullshitting my way around it with subjective logic like that a society that overvalues the actions of its members is bad. At least this shit will be the final straw for me to turn my back on this world for good
I'd rather live happy on the street than work my ass off to keep up standards I don't have to fit in a herd I don't like
I wouldn't want to live in a world where people like you, and Harvey Weinstein can buy their way out of being scumbags. I already do in a way, I just wouldn't want to make anything easier for you than it already is.
the west already has something similar
youtube.com
You know it's always been this way, right? Even a few hundred years ago, you could buy your way into fucking heaven by purchasing indulgences at the church.
Lmao chang getting butthurt at pasta
>'productive'
>aka 'born into a family with some degree of control over capital'
Right so again why would I want people like you to get more retard support than you already do? Is it still too hard being a normalfag?
reminds me of that episode of the orvile
That was a straight rip off of a black mirror episode.
I think about it every day. it'll be horrible. there's nothing I can do to stop it.
Kill yourself chonk. Go run over another baby.
>doesn't understand why this is a terrible idea and why anyone shilling for it should be executed
