Oh please. Social credit systems are literally built into humanity.
- api 5y agoNo they aren’t. Personal interaction at local scale is entirely different from an algorithm classifying you as untouchable because you match a filter. These are not the same thing at all.
- fallat 5y agoThe article does not describe a digital social credit system though?... They are complaining about bank account freezes. This has nothing to do about a social credit system. It has to do with the perverse relationship between the government, the bank, and the individual. We already know the solution to this problem. I won't continue further because it's all very socially delicate, and I would prefer the discussion happen over something more ephemeral. Take this comment as not an opinion, but an observation. I could be incredibly wrong.
- threatofrain 5y agoHistorically, wouldn't society just use visuals to identify if you're in a broad class such as the peasant or slave class? And all individuality would be subsumed under that.
