Imaginary trust system of the future or what's your rating?

I think all know or have faced credit rating, when the Bank on the basis of scoring on a number of criteria defines our reliability as a borrower (analyzing a lot of data, psychometrics, and today the social network).

But how do you feel about the fact, when the rating will determine not only the relationship with the banks, and the diversity of our social life? Where should be the line of privacy and social differentiation? Where the real and where imaginary :)

Many probably have heard that such a serious social experiment is already preparing to launch in China by 2020, and those who are interested in law know that countries often have useful up to the power of innovation. Of course, surveillance of Google, Facebook and the authorities, the question is not the future, and this (because of the decision in the illusion of having choice — have often taken without our participation).

It is only the Chinese face a ranking of social trust, which will reflect a certain level of lawfulness and honesty in relation to the society/state. What's next? If you are already at the initial stage **low rating leads to all sorts of prohibitions and deprivation of preferences, and development of systems and algorithms being subsidiaries of Chinese tech giants Tencent and Alibaba.

Launched pilot in several cities of China shows that initially has a rating of grows only 80% of the population. When you engage in public activities do not violate the law all right, but it is necessary to commit a misdemeanor and the downgrade may lead to pariah status. Will be impossible: to drive, get a job, get a loan, buy a plane ticket, rent a hotel room and much more. The citizen reporting the misconduct of others, is set higher bonus points.

Within the running system characteristic of a person is based on data and consumer preferences (Alibaba), and hence citizens in some extent: refuse to purchase undesirable for rating and the relations of the state! Not to mention the fact that affects your choice of friends and probably expressed opinions on various public issues.

To date, the pursuit of novelty and privileges of millions of Chinese voluntarily joined the system of state ranking, having the opportunity to take out a loan on more favorable terms, installments in stores Alibaba, rent a car without a Deposit, go through VIP check-in at the airport, a simplified procedure for obtaining visas and other. And the highest level of AAA was associated with status, allowing profitable to marry!

The introduction of the program of social rating has led to a growing mistrust and begin a split in society, when it becomes profitable to be friends with the "lower caste", and the policy statements of the relatives affect your performance. Expected began to appear and illegal services improvement "cheating" their social reputation.

Many believe that the first news of this "voluntary" rating system was the prohibition of the Supreme people's court of China on departure from the country more than 6 million people have committed various social misdeeds, and about 1.5 million will no longer be able to use the railway system of the country.

Quite often, economic success and technological achievements of China is to be admired, however, with similar initiatives in the style of famous dystopia there is a sense of growing concern for our future. Although it is recognized that large corporations have long been secretly and carefully study the data without hesitation, we give to ourselves, a matter of time — to analyze and to predict future actions. Nothing changes if we want to keep a secret must hide it from yourself :)

The price of this "social justice" may be too high, and the question of social cohesion is forgotten forever. Are we going to see in the short term individual rating for all countries? After consultations on the recognition of the property of the state all "user data" and a single registry of the population is already underway...
