Comment on So glad I suck dick
Ferrous@lemmy.ml 4 days agoSo, what are the facts relating to China’s Social Credit System (SoCS)? First, a system does exist, but it is very different from what is imagined by many critics outside China. The biggest disconnect is around the notion of scores. Some commentators seem to imagine that a magic algorithm draws from AI cameras and internet surveillance all over the country to calculate a score that determines everyone’s place in society. In reality, the SoCS is not the techno-dystopian nightmare we fear: it is lowly digitalized, highly fragmented, and primarily focuses on businesses. Most importantly, such a score simply does not exist.

Classic lib move: dunking on nonexistent “ebil ccp” systems that started off as rumors mere days after the west decided it would clamp down on any semblance of internet freedom - upon a backdrop of rapidly burgeoning fascism and concentration camps. The US State Department has effortlessly oriented you.

Hello Ferrous, I would like to discuss this topic with you. However, I am not entirely sure if you are human. Could you please solve this captcha for me?

Yup, the United States government sucks. However, the Chinese government also sucks.

Which has nothing to do with the myth of a social credit score…
