She's a model #citizen, but she can't hide in #China's 'social #credit' #system

Don't worry, it's China. You'll only get that much surveillance if you're a warehouse worker at #Amazon.

    @shalimar That is happening alreally. Those with wealth are enslaving the impoverished. Be it international corps enslaving peoples of a developing nation. The wealthy having wage slaves in deveolped nations. Don't get started with the World Monetary Fund and the like. SC would be more like the "bitcoin" version of what is already happening more or less.

    @kevinmc exactly this will happen. Social cooling. Those who need help won't get it because of the low SC. The ones with a high SC will have modern slaves doing everything they wish.

    Here is what I mean:
    According to the human rights you should be able to finance yourself and your family with the wage you get. I can't see how this should go in the middle of big cities where you can't find a flat with this wage even without a family.

    I wonder if the number of times you use a public washroom and frequency will affect your social score. Someone is in dire need and you decide to help them does that affect your socail score? Would you need to first check the other persons SC and decide how it will affect yours before you decide to help or not? wow.

    I'm not sure what you mean? I know it's not massive but especially in the UK that wage wouldn't be classed as abad for warehouse work

    The problem is they must live from the wage in the US and not in Bangladesh.
