The worrying implications of China's social-credit project
The United States already includes social media into police threat scoring algorithms, which are used to track and prioritize police surveillance and citizen &#x27;nudging&#x27;.<p>Algorithms across the US attempt to constrain the conversation to maintain confidence in public institutions. Facebook censored me from posting the Snowden documents. It stopped Mayday protestors from organizing. Amazon took down Wikileaks (for a short while).<p>This article is just an instance of hate-them-not-us propaganda. The problem is that I don&#x27;t hate the Chinese, they are a peaceful country (read: are in and have not been in wars, are leaders of the UN peacekeeping forces, and do not militarily interfere in other countries&#x27; affairs). Plus they have done nothing to me and I love all the Chinese people I have met.
