  2. Your post, included comments, or your title/comment should include some kind of commentary or remark on the subject of the screen capture. Your title must include at least one word relevant to your post.
  3. You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.
  4. Current politics and news are allowed, but discouraged. There MUST be some kind of human commentary/reaction included (either by the original poster or you). Just news articles or headlines will be deleted.
  5. Doctored posts/images and AI are allowed, but discouraged. You MUST indicate this in your post (even if you didn't originally know). If an image is found to be fabricated or edited in any way and it is not properly labeled, it will be deleted.

That one is quite American, the rest can be applied more globally.

Remember when we laughed at the idea of China doing this? All the jokes of social credit score? How disappointing, we got the same shit practically

That didn't start with social credit score. When I first learned about their Great Firewall, I learned that their justification for it was roughly that nation states are sovereign and need to have sovereignty over which websites are allowed to operate in their country and what rules they have to comply with.

At the time we in the west mostly said, if that is your attitude, then you're an authoritarian state that doesn't respect human rights, especially to free speech.

Now it is the attitude of many western politicians too.

Rev 13:16-17 BSB "And the second beast required all people small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their forehead, so that no one could buy or sell unless he had the mark—the name of the beast or the number of its name."
