Actually, that’s not the name of my post but that quote above is a better description,”once untrustworthy, always restricted”, of the “Social Trust” system that China is building. I’ve got a few links for you to read, with pull quotes, to give you the jist of the system that Andrew Yang want to do here in the US. No limited government he – as I said in my previous post, Yang wants a US surveillance system that would make the feared East German secret police, who had binders on EVERYONE, look like slackers. It’s bad enough to have thousands of CCTV cameras on city streets and RFID transceivers all along our highways. It’s bad enough to have the FAANGS (e.g., Facebook, Apple, Amazon, Netflix, Google) pouring over and hoovering up our personal data (and having just signed up for Social Security, I now have a glimpse of the “teeniest, tiny-est tip of the iceburg” information the Feds gather to “verify that you are you”).
Naw, Andrew Yang wants the US to establish its own “trustworthy score” for everyone in the US – yet the nine black robed judges said that we (well, at least pregnant women) have the privacy to kill our babies? And other “intimate” acts? How does one adjudicate the two – and worse, who decides algorithmically what is “moral” and what isn’t and then place scores on us all?
Here are the links – read them (reformatted, emphasis mine):
