We are heading towards a Big Brother reality. The social credit concept used in China will be applied globally, even if another name is used in other parts of the world.

You're already in a Big Brother reality. They have you so brainwashed you didn't even realize it.

The mainstream social credit concept doesn't exist in China. That was Big Brother media lying to you. All you need to do is ask one of the 1.4 B Chinese people situation across the entire globe. China has something resembling financial credit. The shitty version that you're thinking of was discussed and tested, but never implemented.

Also, it's called cancel culture, assassination and/or imprisonment. That's what you get if you don't do as told. "Social credit" has always been here.

Interesting, they write the fine is 6% of global revenue. This actually seems like it might be useful as anti-monopoly legislature. Wouldn't affect Saidit one bit, and would mean little to most smaller businesses.

Not that I like the overall implications. The wild wild west net I have known and loved for decades is being sanitized for mass consumption.
