China's Chilling 'Social Credit System' Is Straight Out of Dystopian Sci-Fi

The political censorship currently taking place on Facebook and Twitter is Step One of implementing this here. Mark my words.

And I thought this was fiction when it was on Black Mirror. Silly me.

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

Yep.

"1984", "Black Mirror", "The Twilight Zone" and "Tales From The Dark Side" and other dystopian stories are intended as cautionary tales, not instruction manuals.
Nobody in their right mind would read "1984" and say, "Ooh that's a really good idea."
Yet the Left is doing exactly that.

This is a Democrat wet dream.

Vote accordingly!

Individuals aren't the only ones subject to this gamification. So too are companies inside China, but also businesses outside it – with international airlines already feeling the coercive aspects of the controversial system, which some fear could "interfere directly in the sovereignty of other nations".

So tell the Chicoms that foreign flag carriers will not be participating. Any denial of access to Chinese airports will be reciprocated by western airports toward Chinese airlines. They need us a LOT more than we need them (not sure they're swift enough to realize that).

"As long as it doesn't violate my privacy, I'm okay with it."

How do you even have a conversation with the person who can make that statement?

According to the Intercept, the censored search engine code-named Dragonfly will track users’ locations and search histories; user data will then be available to Chinese authorities. Content deemed “sensitive” by China’s Communist Party will be censored.
