Creepy. THey have to be using your phone to track your proximity to other persons diagnosed (by their phone) and also determining the length of time of exposure.
China uses this kind of software to micromanage the social interactions of the public (Social Credit Score) so it knows if you sit next to someone who has the ‘wrong ideas’ and debits your Social credit score. To protect your score, you have to move away and not sit near someone with ‘wrong thoughts’.
Really creepy - they just repurposed it. I’ve heard that China’s social credit score software has been running in the US for some time now, they just haven’t unveiled it yet.
This film short is sobering and very well done.
