Social Credit is orwellian as hell
it isn;t
Orwell himsellf had no idea
because its outsourcing the entire process
its always been like that in china, they've been a totalitarian state since the 40s
you having low score lowers the scores of people you interact with
They are just increasingly efficient
so there's soft pressure to ostracize you
and guess what they'll do
you don't even need to force anyone
pressuring or forcing media companies to block or shadowban undesirable groups has a similar effect, if clumsier
Look at twitter's 'associated with' clauses
but yeah
it's like...
I'd almost say it's more effficient when it's mild
outright bans and rl big repercussions might make people angry
Of course. Its more insidious
the way it works in china
When it doesn't feel like it comes from the top
"retard colleague keeps posting Alex Jones and lowering my chances of getting visa to go on holiday."
suddenly
your'e in an echo chamber of people praising the governemnt
I dabble in Alex Jones
I was using it as an example
he's not even relevant to china I believe
but I dunno what kind of iffy material gets shared there
like not outright banned just.. iffy
I've been looking at our Visa laws here a lot lately and social media can be used to deny a visa so not that far off
yeah well
look at Lauren Southern
(Looking to import my Yank girlfriend/sub... bloody difficult)
Yeah fair point, tho that was dodgy af
Seemed like ministerial intervention
ugh
hope that goes well for you
Anyone knows how much time it takes to get a colored role in this server?
