Safe Zhejiang will pay the Chinese for denunciations and anonymous letters

The Wall Strett Journal writes about   Unusual application, which roughly allows the Chinese to knock on   other Chinese for   discount on   refueling or free coffee. It is called " Safe Zhejiang " and   works on   quite an interesting scheme.

First, a person needs to register. AND   there is no anonymity here   - write the slander from   his name. Then you need to report on   offense. For example, o   asshole driver who left with   place of the accident is not yet   the police arrived. ABOUT   neighbor drunkard , who is constantly pummeling his wife. ABOUT   a pickpocket from   shopping center, on   which is closed by the guard. A   behind   it's a discount in   cafe, promo code in   Alibaba, free trip to   taxi , etc.

FROM   one side sounds great   - Perform a civil duty, get for   it's a bun. But, as you know, well-intentioned paved road in   hell. The application encourages   application for   any " suspicious " behavior. For example, a neighbor or a student who uses a VPN to access   Facebook.

As the TWSJ writes, this is a great strain on many Zhejiang residents since   everyone wants to build in   system of mass tracking of the country. However, the application is actively promoted by the city authorities   - them   Every tenth resident of Zhejiang   at   In the near future the analogue will appear and   at   other Chinese cities.
