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.

    I like how OP is tacitly assuming that the US government ISN'T already monitoring us all under constant watch and installing cameras outside of our driveways and hooking all this data up to license plate scanners so that police can know at a glance whether you've said wrongthink on the internet.

      I guess they slept through the Snowden leaks because yes they have all the data. They're still working on the data science portion of fully profiling and neatly categorizing all of us in nice lists though. Guess they've also never heard of police fusion centers because if you're an activist, you have a file with them!
