    China already set the bar on this one and America had already started testing it out. Regardless this is disgusting. The world does not need everyone to have a “social credit score”.

    What if you don’t have mainstream social media? Are they going to believe that you don’t have social media?

    Hopefully this causes prices of flights to the US to drop. I (citizen) have to go back to visit family this year.

      That is literally inconceivable by the self-centered assholes who make policies like this.

      Don’t let Musk learn about twitter alternatives, or they will make twitter registration and active usage a visa requirement

    RIP the immigration agents who now have to spend 40 hours a day looking at pictures of latte art and people obscuring their faces next to shitty parfaits.

    It’s getting worse than North Korea! But I guess they just used that as inspiration along with Taliban and Putin

    Very inefficient when they can just ask FBI, NSA, or any of their counterparts in other countries about people online records. Or they can just arrest high profile person like telegram founder to give access to the logs.

    doubt only Japanese are required this, most likely they’re just the first to report it

      They’re not, and it’s not new (it even says this in the article). They’re the last to report it, its news bait because it’s a hot topic. Now everyones clicked and they got their ad dollars.
