In China, if you are Blacklisted by Social Credit System, you become homeless.
Because once you are blacklisted, you are banned from getting a phone number, a bank account, a digital wallet..this makes it hard for you to find a job to support yourself, and you become homeless.
Deleted, not broke. In China, thousands of young people are homeless—not for lack of money, but because the social credit system erased them. Every move, word, and purchase is scored. Blacklisted?
Your WeChat Pay dies, salary stops, and you can’t buy food or a train ticket. Digitally dead, they sleep on streets, shamed by apps exposing their “debts.” No crime, just a low score. This isn’t sci-fi—it’s China, 2025.
Now, the world’s pushing digital IDs and CBDCs, tying your life to a single digital score. One glitch, one dissent, and you’re cut off. China’s dystopia is a warning: when tech tracks and controls, how long until you’re deleted?
