Honestly, I don't think this goes far enough. If you're misbehaving enough to get banned from Uber, you probably shouldn't be holding any other gig work poisition either! This should protect customer safety, by ensuring that once someone is proven problematic, they can simply be removed as a gig laborer, no matter how that looks. Perhaps this could be expanded to traditional employment, as well. This should protect companies from bad employee behavior permanently, and improve society thereby.

It's already hard to get a job as a felon in the US, and hasn't that worked out great!

In case it's not obvious: Just no. It's been tried. It's a horrible idea.

So social credit scores?
We basically have these already, as described by some of the interesting comments on here. It's just a fragmented system instead of being centralized.
