What has long been known as the so-called Chinese social credit in US companies is gradually being introduced. This Asian national program has been running since 2014. This system observes the Chinese in order to influence them and in this way to make them a better population.

 

This system is punishable by those who break social norms and is now a system that is being implemented in companies in Silicon Valley, according to Fast Company Magazine.

 

In this way, the New York State Department of Financial Services has allowed social insurance companies to set premiums on their partners through social media.

 

PatronScan is a new technology for use in restaurants and bars. Thanks to this technology, customers can find out whether or not they have problems with the legislation. The user list is public and is shared with the United States, the United Kingdom and Canada.

 

Other applications also have the right to delete users' accounts without any explanation, such as Uber, Whatsapp, Airbnb, etc.

 

According to the publication, the attribute that haunts these types of social credit systems is that they are not only invasive but outside the law. That is, crimes are punished outside the legal system, which means there is no presumption of innocence. This situation has threatened to develop an alternative legal system, and the accused have less rights.

 

In this case, unlike the Chinese government policy, the emerging social credit system in the US is run by private companies. In fact, the social "privileges" associated with transportation are increasingly: accommodation, communications and service premiums are controlled by technology companies.

 

All of this, the accumulated powers of technology companies, Visanse Alphabet, Amazon, Apple, Facebook and Microsoft, are beyond the bounds of reason. Today, the capitalization of these wolves is 4.2 trillion $, higher than Germany's GDP. Between April and June alone, these five companies paid 206.7 billion $, which is the value of New Zealand.

 

Cupertino has already created 2.4 million jobs in the United States, and earlier this year admitted that there are more than 1.4 billion active devices worldwide.
