The app will lower a user's credit
score based on things like delayed payments on bills and credit
cards. If a user falls into a lower status level, the app will also
display information publicly about the users current live locations
(based on their smartphones,) their personal information, court case
numbers, identity numbers, home addresses, and the reason they have
been labeled as untrustworthy, deadbeat losers. The phone will also
be forced to use a special ringtone that will ring when called,
alerting everyone nearby that the owner has fallen to the lower
status level and should be careful about their business dealings with
that person. People with the lower social-credit scores are denied
the use of some public transit systems or the option to book a hotel
room. These “untouchables” become stigmatized in society
and—until they've cleared their debts—might find it difficult to
even be considered for a job because of their status.
