Uber has set up a social credit system: passengers that get bad ratings from drivers will be blacklisted (refused disservice).

One must suspect that customers' racial and ethnic appearance influences the ratings, so one effect will be discrimination. However, the chinification will do wrong to every customer, including those who are blacklisted, and those who only face the possibility of being blacklisted.

This reinforces my conclusion that transportation services should not be allowed to identify their customers.
