The Social Credit System (Chinese: 社会信用体系; pinyin: shèhuì xìnyòng tǐxì)

We Are the Social Credit Approvers is an online community and conceptual group centered around the discussion, interpretation, and satirical examination of social credit systems, with particular reference to the People’s Republic of China’s Social Credit System.

The group presents itself as an observational and approval-based authority, symbolically “reviewing” behavior, content, and participation within its community according to predefined standards. While the concept originates from real-world policy frameworks related to social trust, compliance, and data-driven governance, the group operates primarily as a cultural and internet-based construct.

Its activities include evaluating user behavior, moderating content, and categorizing contributions under approval or disapproval metrics. The terminology of “approval” and “social credit” is used descriptively rather than as an official or governmental function.

The group functions as a commentary on modern digital governance, online reputation systems, and algorithmic evaluation of individuals in virtual environments.
