Bob le Moche posted:Um except all of this stuff about being punished by your friends for not praising the great leader on facebook is made up bullshit that that youtube video irresponsibly repeated without digging for any sources. This article talks about what is actually happening and it's completely different: https://www.techinasia.com/china-citizen-scores-credit-system-orwellian In case other posters intend to ignore your link, I would like to note that even the piece you quote has this to say: quote:Given that, it seems likely that some of the ACLU’s fears might eventually come true: if the government wants its credit system to enforce social morality, then collecting data on everything from political activities to purchase histories might well be on the table. And there’s little in the Chinese government’s history to suggest it would be unwilling to construct such a credit system and make it mandatory. Seems to me more likely that the ACLU has access to specifics that this blogger doesn't, and that is why they are making the connection with Alibaba and Tencent. But even if they pulled that part of it out of their asses, there is room for concern for the reasons people are stating, rather than because of any kind of racism towards Chinese people or South-East Asians in general.

If the US, UK, or other governments are using gamification to increase control of their populations, that sounds like here would be a good place to discuss it. Same as if anyone want to make a meaningful comparison with social media reputation systems. Otherwise, yeah, there are other threads out there, and nobody is being forced to post in or even read this one. And thus let us end the meta-discussion, please.
