RE: China banned 23 million people with poor social credit from transportation in 2018
What you described is quite scary and distributing. China is a very different beast, so I don't believe the shit we see over there is any indication for what is coming to the West.
I think there would be an unprecedented revolt if these sort of tactics were to be tried in the USA and the EU.
If China owns the internet; and, I suspect with substance that they do, in collab with the amount of U.S. land it owns (think Cali), it could happen, and without/limited/controlled WI-FI there would be very little the ordinary man could do about it.
I read today that a former FCC chair says internet needs regulations.
I do believe that Black Mirror (?) segment was just getting people ready for what may be coming down the pike.
Let's face it, the fewer people online, the more power the powerful have.
Maybe, for a brief time; but, BLM, Yellow Jackets, and the hundreds of other 'revolts' don't last...
Peace.
