Every society has always had a “social scorecard” system.

The government having one is a an entirely different animal.

Ah well I know who to ask the next time I want to re-up the patriot act or fisa 702. Maybe you can give me some pointers on how to do that or even institute a social credit system based on its intel.

Pro-tip: it was the GOP that did that - masters of the small govt.

First thing I think about is that Black Mirror episode where everyone is rated.

You goofballs are so fricking dramatic

An advertiser deciding they don’t want to be associated with someone is not silencing their free speech.

Platforms/advertisers/any other private entity has a freedom of association. How this gets consistently pushed aside in order to create this false narrative of an “attack on conservative free speech” is silly and pathetic.

This would get called racist so fast.

All the retards making world star videos and the tiger land fights would cause lots of folks to not have a very good standing

That’s almost like...communism. I wonder why...oh that’s right, because communists.

Or disappear. Because, again, communists.

Ding ding ding.

This kind of system is the progressive "utopia" or at least the path to it.

Never.

We will mow those who try to implement it down like the Bolsheviks mowed down the people of Russia. WE learn from history unlike those morons.

This might be worth it if it means people have to pull their pants up and turn their music down in public.

Like private credit scores, a person's social score can move up and down depending on their behavior. The exact methodology is a secret - but examples of infractions include bad driving, smoking in non-smoking zones, buying too many video games and posting fake news online.


This sounds almost identical to the episode "Nosedive" on season 3 of Black Mirror. I highly recommend watching if you haven't yet.

That’s actually not true. It’s pretty easy to get suspended or kicked off twitter as an aggressive leftist as well and YouTube has demonitized all sorts of videos not just conservative ones. But conservative media has pushed this narrative which many are eager to believe bc of the victimhood complex many on the right have.

Name 5 social media contributors left of 2008 Barrack OBama who’ve been demonetized or banned. I’ll wait

Why don’t you do your own homework rather than just taking Brietbart as gospel?

Which conservatives have been banned simply for having conservative views? Please don’t say Alex Jones.
