This was only one incident, and hopefully it won’t be repeated elsewhere.

Such incidents hapoen often in Afghanistan, and mostly against women. The central government bans girls from education, just to name another example.

There is another article by CBS quoting representatives of the central government:

Zabihullah Mujahid, the Taliban regime’s chief spokesperson, confirmed the arrests to CBS News on Monday, saying "a group of women who were involved in modeling to promote clothes were detained, advised in front of their family members […]

The person said that after several hours of searching [for a woman detained by tbe Taliban], the family found the woman at a local police station late Tuesday evening, where Taliban officials demanded money, along with her passport and other documentation, as a penalty and “to guarantee that she will not violate the dress code in the future.”

The family member said the authorities told the family they would “take her biometrics and photos, and if she violates the dress code in the future, she will be imprisoned for a longer period.”

Recent arrests of women in Kabul Afghanistan for ‘bad hijab’, confirmed by the Taliban, regrettably signified further restrictions on women’s freedom of expression and undermines other rights," [United Nations special envoy for Afghanistan] Bennett said in a social media post.

Just something like that?

The mafias that control Ecuador from inside their prison cells

Gangs are running profitable businesses inside the correctional facilities, and even have the keys to their own units. Recent rioting showed the extent of their power, posing a difficult challenge for the government of Daniel Noboa.

Regarding the ‘1984 social credit system’ there are a lot of good resources which tell a story far diffrrent from yours. One recent example is tbe documentary ‘Total Trust’ by Chinese film maker Zhang Jialing. The film’s introduction says:

Total Trust is an eye-opening and deeply disturbing story of surveillance technology, abuse of power and (self-)censorship that confronts us with what can happen when our privacy is ignored. Through the haunting stories of people in China who have been monitored, intimidated and even tortured, the film tells of the dangers of technology in the hands of unbridled power.

Watch the film. There are many reviews about it (and other sources about surveillance in China). It’s really easy to find on the web.

I think this law has similar intentions.

Addition: @megopie it would be great if you could post a source of what you say. Thanks in advance.

There’s a long read on what has changed since Xi has been leading the CCP. The rules have slightly changed.

Xi Jinping only wants the most devoted Chinese Communist Party members

Chinese President Xi Jinping, whose real power derives from his position as the head of the ruling Communist Party, has placed more emphasis on quality over quantity. He has demanded absolute loyalty from party members, launched an ideology drive to shore up their faith, and unleashed a crackdown on internal dissent. Members are bound by more stringent rules – and millions of cadres have been investigated for violating them in the past nine years since Xi took control of the party.
