Why do you think China has a social score? If you look up information on it, you find many scores / systems for different domains. Or how national policy and local policy can be different or at odds. You see China announced it in 2014 and barely put out a draft in 2023. The "trustworthy" score is tied to fraud, cheating people, selling counterfeits, etc. One local government is apparently trying to tie blood donation to financial breaks. Like giving you a tax break. Just an example of how the national policy can be interpreted and used in practice.
The idea of our governments scoring us for every little tic is scary, but the danger of overreach is different than "in China, your social score goes down for not smiling." What exactly are people referring to?
lmao downvoted for giving details on how their social credit score works, when you're not even saying 'china good'.
It's weird, China has giant reeducation camps where they imprison over a million Uyghurs / Muslims... you know, the asocials. The huge crowds of people being held on their knees with bags on their heads should have stuck in people's minds.
And then there's misinformation about some national social credit score.
I bet everyone hears people bring up the latter way more than the former.
