    If regulations don’t get put in place fast enough, then the US is seriously going to be China 2.0.

      I’ve seen 3 different comments lately bitching some variation “if you don’t like America go deal with China’s social credit system!”

      Ah yes a credit system meant to control behavior… Surely none of us have credit cards or losns because its the only way to do certain things like even finding a rental in some areas.

        You can’t lose credit by calling Trump a cock gobbler. Credit control’s what you can afford/get based on debt history. Social credit controls every facet of your entire life based on how “good” a citizen you are. Imagine saying “Biden clearly has dementia” then not being able to get on the bus because you just got a -20 infraction for bad mouthing the holy Lord and now you’re completely barred from all public transport.
        This is a very real scenario of China’s CCP controlled Social Credit System.
        I’d like to avoid that for the US by blocking the technology from being used in this manner.
        Also, I don’t have a credit card. (⁠⌐⁠■⁠-⁠■⁠)

          Biden is passing a number of laws that do precisely those things, including making ANY criticism of Israel “antisemitic hate speech” and opening up fast passes to strip any org they don’t like of nonprofit status. Also, you can not have a credit card but that means there are certain things you aren’t allowed to access and certain areas you aren’t allowed to live. Saying “IDC” doesn’t mean you’re less restricted, just means you accept your restrictions.
