One of the issues is people value their privacy so if you can find a way around that …

That’s a good point. There’s the safety for driver WOT and privacy trade-off. Hmm. Hadn’t thought that through. Back to grilling, am good at that

Well that was right choice to make!

A proof of concept was made two years ago. I forgot the URL.

It’s certainly an interesting thought

Anon hitman needs a lyft his wot score is unknown driver scared to accept job from unknown with ? Wot lol. No wot in any driving app what is this black mirror where we live in the social credit system?

Interesting. So I obviously hadn’t thought this through but we’ve ended up with the start of a potential thriller script

Yea if you never seen black mirror you should they have a whole episode where society lives on the social credit system which is like WoT except that basically rules your life. You get a bad wot you can't get a job, approved for a bank loan, insurance or anything & if you go from 1 star to 0 you get arrested & go to prison.

Based in China?

International

Hmm ok I’ll watch the prophecy and ignore the reality 🙄

It would be scary if we lived in a world lile that where everything is based around a simple 5 star rating system?

It’s fucking horrifying. I always found it interesting discussing with Eastern Europeans about neighbours and family members reporting them to authorities. Also got raided by police in China and taken to the station for spending the night on someone’s sofa and getting reported. Having digital systems to fully ring fence freedom behind social scoring according to central authorities is definitely not top of the list of desires for me

In terms of getting raided by police in China, I’d guess not possible to bribe one’s way out with a pack of Marlboro lights any more but still would recommend to non smokers to carry a pack! 🙄
