When Americans find out, they will band together at Concord Bridge and chant:
Bow down!... Obey!... Snitch!...
Anyone who posts on Facebook, Twitter, etc. and enables the profiling info to be collected is a fool.
Watch Nosedive, Black Mirror, season 3 E 1 for a satire on social ratings. A preview of things to come.
So is the attempt to assign individuals an ESG score, an environmental, social and governance (ESG) score.
Isn’t that cultural appropriation? Pathetic that we are now stealing ideas from the Chinese?
