The Social Credit System is Coming to Europe

by Chris Black

In Bologna, Italy, the ‘smart citizen wallet’ will be introduced, rewarding  ‘righteous’ citizens with points.

Citizens will get points/rewards if they sort waste if they use public transport, if they manage energy well, if they do not get penalties from the municipal authority if they are active with the culture card.

At first glance, it looks like good intentions. But it is only a matter of time before rewards become sanctions (e.g. if you reject to get vaccinated or criticize the government).

By the way, this project of a “European digital identity portfolio” is led by the president of the European Commission, Ursula Von der Leyen, a president who, let’s not forget, is not elected by the European citizens.
