It's a crappy article, that's the point. This shows that the media is a propaganda machine.

that was a very good episode. I have worked for a woman who has a management style that i would call the "dysney management: be nice at all cost, as long as you smile and everybody likes you" you were fine. No complaints towards you, no frowning from anybody towards you, you had to be the perfect social butterfly, not important if you had substance or not.Posted by DeDukshyn (here)
That's why I think its a crappy article -- attempting to conflate things to make x look like Y to garner the expected emotional reaction. What looks like Ramus' own addition (the first line) doesn't seem to be helping that either.Posted by peterpam (here)

There's a lot wrong with that OP article.
There's a massive conflation of all sorts of assumptions and speculations being presented as fact.
What I am seeing is China cracking down on tax evaders and not letting them leave the country -- USA does the exact same thing.
Banning your travel from not walking you dog with a leash isn't something that actually happened to anyone.
That aside, lumping all criminal activities together into a "credit" system though is obviously going to be rife with issues. That's the only real story here.

Back to the topic ...
The "American" version of this social credit system would be more casual, and look more like the episode of Black Mirror called "Nosedive" -- we are already halfway there ... its a pretty good episode.

"A woman desperate to boost her social media score hits the jackpot when she's invited to a swanky wedding, but the trip doesn't go as planned. "
It was literally choking.
whatever China or the USA is doing in a slow motion or an obvious one towards this direction, it will be choking for the people, for creativity, for analysis of situations, name it.
