The Social Credit System is a system being developed by the Chinese government, aimed to assess and place a score on citizens' and businesses' social and economic reputation. With this standardized system, the Chinese government has been reportedly using it as a basis for punishing blacklisted individuals by denying access to train and plane tickets, and preventing their children from enrolling in certain private schools and universities. Certain information about blacklisted citizens is displayed publicly as a form or public shaming.
