I am interested with how the social credit system actually works and how much it impacts day to day life.
To be expected at this point.
That first link is dead.
Damn, went down the twitter drain.
In the sense that you know it it isn't real. Its simply a system that stops those in debt who can't/refuse to pay it back from buying luxuries like five-star hotel rooms and first-class seats on trains. You can still buy coach and standard rooms just not luxuries. I don't know all the specifics as I'm neither a lawyer nor have I had to deal with it personally.
