May God bless all those fighting to get the truth past the censors, and may He provide the funding needed for TheExpose.uk to continue operation.

It’s just a voluntary pilot program.

for now

This is nothing more than a revival of the class system under a different name.

Should try on welfare recipients here...just as a “test”

Nosedive (Black Mirror)

“Nosedive” is the first episode in the third series of the British science fiction anthology series Black Mirror. Michael Schur and Rashida Jones wrote the teleplay for the episode, based on a story by series creator and co-showrunner Charlie Brooker, while Joe Wright acted as director. It premiered on Netflix on 21 October 2016, alongside the rest of the third series. The episode is set in a world where people can rate each other from one to five stars for every interaction they have, which can impact their socioeconomic status. Lacie (Bryce Dallas Howard) is a young woman overly obsessed with her ratings; she finds an opportunity to elevate her ratings greatly and move into a more luxurious residence after being chosen by her popular childhood friend (Alice Eve) as the maid of honour for her wedding.

BULL CRAP! I read the press release and it simply sounds like a health related app. Hell, Apple beat them to it by years with the Apple Watch.

It sounds like it could help our resident anti-vaxxers deal with their morbid obesity. But it’s sure not a “social credit system” with which you try to conflate it.

How to get people to go along with Big Brother controlling you.

Disguise it as social media or something that is allegedly good for you.

(From the press release listed in the first paragraph)
:" As an evidence-based, data science company focused on people’s health around the world,
we are immensely proud to be working with the government and key stakeholders, people in the community, and with the Behavioural Insights Team
as our design and evaluation partner, to play a part in piloting an exciting new approach to the urgent and important challenge of helping people engage
with their health and improve their health behaviours."

"The Health Incentives Scheme was announced as part of a £100 million package of government support to help those living with obesity
to move closer towards a healthier weight and give them the tools they need to maintain this."

"The pilot will launch in January 2022 and will run for 6 months in a defined location in England to be announced in due course. "

(MY COMMENT/tik): The concept of a government run "Social Credit Score", ostensibly for 'health reasons', still remains an invasion of privacy, regardless of the motive.
Originally designed to help individual health, it will evolve into an intrusive command and control reporting application, while assuring individual privacy.
This is Bloody Balderdash !
By even proposing this program, supposedly for beneficial health reasons, one should also be aware that the 'camel's nose is under the tent',
since this is a test run of the Social Credit Score employed by the Chinese to keep their entire population compliant.
This is nothing more than an introduction to the Chinese Gulag system : Obey,.. or be socially and economically penalized !
