Gamified Control - China's Social Credit Systems
summary
China builds linked governmental and commercial social credit systems that score individuals and companies using payments, messaging, court records and dating‑app data, claiming to boost trust; implementation timeline starts from a 2014 plan and aims to be mandatory by 2020. Companies like Alibaba (Ant Financial’s Sesame Credit is private), Baidu and Tencent feed platforms and payments into scoring, while facial recognition ties jaywalking to point loss and penalties already include travel bans; algorithms and exact rules remain opaque even as gamified incentives reshape behavior.
