Black Mirror IRL: China Will Ban Citizens with 'Bad Social Credit’ from Travelling

It’s happening...

Ever watched Black Mirror and thought ‘that would never happen’? Well, eat your words, friend - because remember that episode ‘Nosedive’? The one where social rankings affect where people can live, work and travel? Yeah, well China is essentially going to do that.

The country has announced new measures that mean its citizens will be restricted from travelling if they have bad ‘social credit’, as part of President Xi Jinping’s plan to construct a system based on the principle of “once untrustworthy, always restricted”. Gah.

《Nosedive》- 共存的社交煉獄 我們都習慣為別人打分數,喜歡的行為加分,不討喜的人扣分,主觀意識佔盡了我們對一個人的優劣評分。 這可能是出社會以來極近生活的一部影集,如何成為「一個討喜的人」成為出社會首要學習的目標,我們總嚮往成為那人人喜歡你的「高分族群」,不停讓自己成為別人為你加分的人,我們俗稱的「上流社會」。你汲汲營營在一群假面微笑中求生存,不久,你好不容易進入「高分族群」裡,發現,你只能對著鏡子裡的自己誠實,但又要催眠自己裹上糖衣走出浴室。很多人都存活在這樣一個虛偽的生活當中,卻又要裝得清高。沈浸在這樣一個高分社會當中,當你越受歡迎,你離自我越遠;當你越是討喜,你離誠實越遠。 #blackmirror #nosedive #blackmirrorseason3 #blackmirrornosedive #netflix

Offences like smoking on public transport, using expired tickets, and vague-sounding violations like ‘spreading false information about terrorism’ could all have an effect on social credit, resulting in travel bans of up to a year.

It gets crazier - because a wider roll-out of the system will apparently take into account everything from how well citizens treat their parents, to the things that they buy when it comes to their ability to earn certain rewards and benefits.

Теперь и я "нырнула"🙈😂😂😂#чёрноезеркало3сезон #драма#рекомендуюКпросмотру#blackmirrornosedive#socialrank#britishtv

According to government officials this plan - and here’s a line that might well chill you to your core - will “allow the trustworthy to roam everywhere under heaven while making it hard for the discredited to take a single step” .

Bloody hell.
