China To Use Big Data To Rate Citizens In New ‘Social Credit System’
Planning Outline for the Construction of a Social Credit System (2014-2020)
“Well, Ting, he’s pretty terrible in bed, but he does have a huge credit score… =p
Hideous. I wonder if you could have two identities – one linked to your credit cards and social security number created to meet the demands of the government and corporate world and the other for personal use to suit your real identity.
From the Ts&Cs of a job-finding website:
“We may also collect personal information which we have found from other websites that display information about you publically. For example, social media accounts such as Facebook and Twitter, your online profile on your current employer’s network, any articles about you or any public listing of your profile.”
Maybe we are already being given a “sincerity consciousness” rating.

OMG! I’d read about the Chinese government roll-out over the last year. I find it truly “creepy” and also see it as a toe-in-the-water for the rest of the world. BRICS? Right. It’s simply another banking system now to be controlled by the East. It’s not the savior of the planet as so much internet jabber states. It’s still a banking system. Why would China give up power/influence/wealth for the good of the planet when they are socially engineering their own population into “good behavior”? That is just stupid. Not happening.
China to ban citizens with bad ‘social credit’ rating from taking flights or using trains for up to a year
President Xi Jinping’s plan based on principle ‘once untrustworthy, always restricted’ to come into effect on 1 May

Thanks doublek321!
March 18 2018 update
EXCERPTS
…People who would be put on the restricted lists included those found to have committed acts like spreading false information about terrorism and causing trouble on flights, as well as those who used expired tickets or smoked on trains…
… Those found to have committed financial wrongdoings, such as employers who failed to pay social insurance or people who have failed to pay fines, would also face these restrictions….
Well it seems to me that by creating a system like this, they will only encourage people who feel they have received an unfair rating to derail a train or bring down a plane.
Here in 2018
http://www.wired.co.uk/article/china-social-credit says
‘….It might sound like a futuristic dystopian nightmare but the system is already a reality. Social credit is preventing people from buying airline and train tickets, stopping social gatherings from happening, and blocking people from going on certain dating websites….”
The Sub-headline is “…Looking for love? In China, a good credit score could get you access to exclusive singles…”
I “think” it was G Edward Griffin who said year and years ago that in communist bloc nations the big stifling of dissent came from subtle removal of job and housing opportunities
also
“…Chinese citizens signing up for the wildly popular multiplayer shooter game Counter Strike Global Offensive must register using both their national ID and Sesame Credit score, according to state media outlet CGTN, and anyone caught using cheating software like ‘Aimbots’ which ensure perfect aim will have their Sesame Credit scores deducted, potentially affecting their real-life ability to get loans. “It’s the worst punishment in history,” Li Haiyi, vice president of Chinese game developer Perfect World, told CGTN…..”
Lol I guess???
