Subject: Social-credit score system for Germany (Vorausschau)
The German ministry for education and science (BMBF) has published a
study
in which it puts forward a Chinese-style social credit system for
Germany.
A translated quote from the long version on an official BMBF
https://www.vorausschau.de/vorausschau/de/home/home_node.html#zukuenfte
(the
web site's design is atrocious, trying to find the information is quite
difficult).
``Highly controversial at the beginning, the bonus point system is
largely
accepted in the 2030s. It establishes new norms in everyday life that
were not possible before. The participatory development of the rules
also
ensures greater acceptance among the population. Approval of the bonus
system is growing, particularly in view of the increasing dynamics of
climate change. A point-based evaluation, for example, the of
ecological
footprint -- helps to make the polluter-pays principle transparent.''
Participation in the point system would be voluntary in the sense that
not
participating would bring very real drawbacks. Another quote:
``The bonus system is also helpful for the labor market, which
continues
to suffer from a shortage of skilled workers. system is helpful. It
helps
to identify qualification potential and efficiently organize the
spatial
mobility of the workforce.''
So, not participating would lead to lower chances of getting a job.
China is explicitly mentioned as a role model.
