Critics of the technology warn of the potential dangers of a person’s digital identity, including surveillance and data harvesting. They fear that civilians will be divided into two separate categories: “good” citizens and “bad” ones. The good citizens enjoy special privileges; critics fear that the bad ones may inevitably become more ostracized from public life.

To work as intended, they will have to set up cameras everywhere and use facial recognition software. Good citizens, those with scores above a certain level, will be able to access everything people can access now; those with very low scores will be banned from many places and means of transportation, falling eventually into abject poverty.
