huh?
mostly from countries like germany, quite strict
lol, I just won't serve them
fuck Germany
they need to get their act together
They can probably connect
but officially I will not operate in markets which are hostile to this
and I will _never_ remit taxes to these jurisdictions.
It is immoral to serve Germans in an official capacity, because it involves appeasing the EE.
https://www.gdd.de/international/english these people in particular are fairly hardcore authotarians
LoL
by data protection they clearly mean surveillance
basically yes
Well, I'll keep things simple
offer service without knowing my customer
unless they want me to know them for other reasons (account recovery, involvement/surveys, etc.)
and reservations I guess
though I can discard reservation verification information as soon as the matching key is received
accept payment by mail
etc.
the idea of a social credit score like that disgusts me
Eh, the idea isn't really that radical
It already exists
just in smaller groups
social ranking in an innate human behavior
it's just that the state insists that resistance to the state is a demerit
credit scores are already a pretty good measure of "social credit"
but when whether or not you buy pornography, and how many times a year you criticize the state are variables
you kinda taint the score
My guess is that as they force Chinese businesses to use the score, they will build up to a financial crisis.
because loyalty to the state is not a good predictor of financial creditworthiness
messing with creditworthiness is a major exacerbating factor of the 2008 financial crisis
it also would include stuff like how your brother tweeted a pro trump statement so therefore you must lose social credit score, which is used to control you via numerous angles
part of the corporate gulag
well, the problem is that using the score for too many things will destabilize them
I think there is hope that it is self-limiting
i.e. if they want to keep sesame credit, it'll actually need to have some utility
otherwise it will collapse the economy
seriously
