This article is typical western fear-mongering. China can already arbitrarily detain political dissidents if they want to. This "social credit score" is nothing more than an elaborate system to enforce misdemeanor laws.
- yladiz 9y ago> This "social credit score" is nothing more than an elaborate system to enforce misdemeanor laws. I don't agree. It's more about making people compliant with what the government wants in society, and making those who don't follow the "social" rules in the country subject to various restrictions, essentially limiting their freedom if they don't do what the government wants. In essence they're attempting to legitimize their arbitrary policies by making it about something vaguely enforceable.
- Aunche 9y agoThat's what the western media spins it as, but is there any evidence of that? The examples listed in the article are misdemeanor laws.
