Italy Introduces Chinese-Style ‘Social Credit System’ – It’s Voluntary – For Now…
Italy introduces new app aiming to reward citizens for virtuous behavior.
A few Italian cities like Bologna and Rome will undertake a digital plan this autumn aligning citizen’s behaviors with the objectives of the UN 2030 Agenda by introducing an app called “Smart Citizen Wallet”. This plan is creating some controversy, however. As Italian media have reported, citizens who separate their trash, use public transportation, or otherwise behave virtuously will be rewarded with discounts via this app.
Critics of this technology warn of the possible dangers of digital identity (surveillance, data harvesting, and other issues). They worry that people will be divided into two groups: those who are considered “good” citizens and those who are considered “bad”. While the good citizens enjoy certain privileges, the bad citizens could eventually become more and more excluded from public life.
They are importing the slave system of China into Europe. The only question is, when will it make it to the US shores.

🇮🇹 ITALY: Rome & Bologna are introducing Europe’s first social credit system. Just like you’d expect they present this ‘Smart Citizen Wallet’ as “voluntary” and they state they’ll “reward” citizens with digital points for ‘good’ behaviour that’s “in line with the 2030 SDGs”.

Voluntary "test" for something they've developed for years. Sure! Step one of total control in the recovered Rome Empire. #endtimes

Yes it is Samuel, a Fascist experiment, coupled with a very real new grip on Italian credit card transactions
Those idiots think that the Chinese way is superior to Democracy, because it drives "economic growth"
They are in for a dire surprise
