Combine the outsourced judgement with the coming Social Credit System, and we have an outsized disaster on our hands.

I read on Twitter last night the very interesting writer Gad Saad wanted to follow Stephen Fry. However Stephen Fry's Twitter account had blocked Gad Saad's account from following. Some have suggested Fry is using a bot to block undesirables ... and Gad somehow fell into the undesirable category.

Kristin Tate has an essay in The Hill today about various corporate entities which are banning undesirables from using their platforms, and these are shopping ... thus banking apps. Tate goes on the make the most prescient statement I've seen in a while "The same companies that can track your activities and give you corporate rewards for compliant behavior could utilize their powers to block transactions, add surcharges or restrict your use of products." But I would like to focus on this snip "corporate rewards for compliant behavior."

Think about that for a bit: corporate rewards for compliant behavior. As judged by a piece of Artificial Intelligence.
