Big Brother is watching: Chinese city with 2.6m cameras is world's most heavily surveilled
Cities around the world are scaling up their use of surveillance cameras and facial recognition systems – but which ones are watching their citizens most closely?
Qiu Rui, a #policeman in #Chongqing, was on duty this summer when he received an #alert from a #facial #recognition system at a local square. There was a high probability a man caught on camera was a suspect in a 2002 murder case, the system told him.
The city’s #surveillance #system scans facial features of people on the streets from frames of video footage in real time, creating a virtual map of the face. It can then match this information against scanned faces of suspects in a police database. If there is a match that passes a preset threshold, typically 60% or higher, the system immediately notifies officers. Three days later the police captured the man, who eventually admitted that he was the suspect.
Cases such as this, where facial recognition systems are used to help local police crack crime cases, are not unusual in the south-west #China city, which recently ranked first in an #analysis of the world’s most surveilled cities compiled by the UK-based technology research firm Comparitech. With 2.58m cameras covering 15.35 million people – equal to one camera for every six residents – Chongqing has more surveillance cameras than any other city in the world for its population, beating even Beijing, Shanghai and tech hub Shenzhen.

Suzhou city takes a page from China’s social credit system with Civility Code that rates citizens’ behaviour through a smartphone app
A Chinese city’s plan to score citizens by how “civil” they are has prompted comparisons to Black Mirror and China’s last imperial dynasty.
Authorities in the eastern city of Suzhou, west of Shanghai, introduced a new function designed to measure a person’s civic performance. The new “Sucheng Wenmingma”, which roughly translates as “Suzhou Civility Code”, aims to encourage people to follow traffic rules, take part in voluntary services, sort their trash and do other things that make them model citizens in the eyes of the government. The code is accessed via a smartphone app.
During a brief trial last week, the app actively tracked users’ traffic performance, the Southern Metropolis Daily reported. For each infraction, such as running a red light, 50 points were deducted from the starting total of 1,000 points. A user could gain back lost points by taking part in voluntary traffic management activities.

China’s netizens scoff at city’s plan to score people’s ‘civility’
The Suzhou Civility Code, still under trial, earns comparison with Black Mirror and outdated ideas of governance in the Qing dynasty.

Three hours a week: Play time's over for China's young video gamers
China has forbidden under-18s from playing video games for more than three hours a week, a stringent social intervention that it said was needed to pull the plug on a growing addiction to what it once described as "spiritual opium".

"Vaccine Passport" is simply the "social credit system score" surveillance, like in China
Western acceptance of the deceptively labeled "vaccine passport" will usher in the global enslavement of mankind and allow dictator "state" to decide whether you live or die. Social credit scores are the ultimate method of depopulation.
