Many who have red or yellow codes now lead lives as partial pariahs. With the digital scarlet letter they can't go out or return to work. Plenty don't understand why their code is red or yellow, yet when they call up a complaint hotline it's generally busy. pic.twitter.com/Cj8n03rZLh

China is requiring people to use an app so they can be assigned a color code — green, yellow or red — that indicates their health status. However, the app appears to send personal data to police, in a troubling precedent for automated social control. https://t.co/OkOWMFp14B

“The broad rules aren’t public....How it assigns red or yellow codes isn’t public. And there’s no clear way to make your code turn green,” said one man, who took his chances and was able to get through a checkpoint.

In Hangzhou, it has become nearly impossible to get around without showing your Alipay code. Propaganda-style banners remind everyone of the rules: “Green code, travel freely. Red or yellow, report immediately.” https://t.co/2L4hqvo0hJ

To fight the coronavirus China is undertaking its biggest experiment yet in rule by data: an app that automates quarantines. Alibaba software, using unexplained data, now decides whether millions can leave their home. It also shares data with the police. https://t.co/uCqHH4DIIZ

China has embarked on a bold mass experiment in governing by data. We looked under the hood at the color code system first introduced in Hangzhou and found that it does more than dictate quarantines in real time. It also appears to send info to the police. https://t.co/167zpmpcZM
