Coming to a Tech-Monopoly Ruled Country By You: China Experiments With an System That Issues a Sonic Alarm to Indicate People Who Are Low In Their "Social Credit" System

I'm sure Google and FaceBook are noodling with this sort of idea. Wouldn't it be useful to have your phone give off a signal of alarm whenever there's a Deplorable within 15 feet?

Quick, let's give them all the power to rule us before they can refuse it!

In the framework of its very controversial system of "social credit," the Middle Kingdom is experimenting in certain provinces with some measures intended to embarrass the citizens who declare themselves to the authorities to be bankrupt....
These "laolai" ["deadbeat debtors" in Chinese] are "bad payers" who drag around their credits on their back and suffer in consequence restrictions and daily humiliations due to the will of the communist leaders.
Since 2014, the communist government has been refining a system of "social credit," which measures daily Chinese citizens in order to punish the "bad" subjects of the Middle Kingdom and reward the most virtuous. A powerful instrument of social coercion, which is relies upon big data for collecting the information, the Chinese system of [ranking] punishes its "discredited" citizens, writes them into the blacklist of the communist party, for contracts and for bankloans, for getting an apartment, for taking a flight or even for using the trains of the country.
According to the report of the national center of credit information, China has blocked annually 17.5 million plane tickets and 5.5 million train tickets for such "discredited" citizens.
In the country's east, in the province of Guanyun, some telecom businesses, in collaboration with the local authorities, assign a special alarm for indebted inhabitants, which warns people looking to call them that they are about to contact a flagged citizen. To hell with the customary "wait" signal. This time, the traditional "beep" is replaced by recorded vocal message very embarrassing for the indebted citizen. According to the public press agency Xinhua, the wait-signal message goes like this: "The person that you are calling has been placed on the blacklist by the authorities of the province of Gunyun. If you would, please exhort this person to fulfill his legal obligations. The employees of the local government appreciate your support. Thank you!"
Besides Guanyan, the city of Huangshi, situated in the province of Hubai at the center of the country, and the city od Degfend, situated in the province of Henan, have likewise introduced similar measures. Started a year ago, the measure has only the goal of embarrassing the citizens who declared themselves to the authorities to be insolvent....
The supreme court of China established a base of information searchable on line, which [records] the indebted citizens of the country. Full names, identification numbers, age, city of origin and details of the debt, the private information of 13 million people with bad credit histories, according to the South China Morning Post, have been thrown into the public pasture for grazing. In the same vein, a province situated in the north of China has developed a mobile app which locates in a perimeter of 500 meters the indebted citizens around you. The bureaucrats, faithfuls of the communist party, affirm that this system is in operation, and thus 3.5 citizens or businesses have paid their taxes or debts thanks to this application.

Can't wait.

PS: Chase bank, here in the "free" USA, now refuses to provide bank accounts to those on its own private social credit blacklist.

Does everyone see where this is going? And I mean literally where this is going: It's going to America next. China is just the preview shows in Bridgeport, Connecticut. Working the kinks out of the production.

Don't be evil, Google said, and then implemented a system of data-collection and constant surveillance which was then used communist dictatorships to harass and humiliate its citizens.

88 I use my own domains/email servers - one just for purchases. But sadly, I have to email with people who have gmail for their accounts (basically everybody).

Anybody with an Android ever wonder why that funny concert lighter app needs to access your photos, videos, camera, mic and contacts? In fact, every app.

I always wondered why nobody thought that Pokemon app could be trouble, what with guys in the pentagon finding pokemon in the security files area on their lunchbreak as the Chinese take notes of the real-time video.

When having a DM (private messaging) discussion with friends on instagram, one of them posted a pic of a rowing machine he'd just purchased. Nothing I'm interested in. Immediately afterwards, I had rowing machine ads on my IG feed, and Amazon had rowing machines on my home page. Uh-huh. Private my ass. What's worse? None of my friends (granted, only had one 29th birthday so far) thought that was necessarily a nefarious thing.

They've had access to this type of information for a long time. In 2006, I worked a campaign and was floored at the type of information that was available - on the cusp of smartphones. Now, with the ubiquity of smartphones and people volunteering their data, it has reached an industrial scale.

Install any of several hundred apps that are part of FB's full data sharing agreements? Pay with debit or credit cards from any of half a dozen major banks?

Do any of that, and your data is either commercially available to Google or already collected.

167 When having a DM (private messaging) discussion with friends on
instagram, one of them posted a pic of a rowing machine he'd just
purchased. Nothing I'm interested in. Immediately afterwards, I had
rowing machine ads on my IG feed, and Amazon had rowing machines on my
home page. Uh-huh. Private my ass. What's worse? None of my friends
(granted, only had one 29th birthday so far) thought that was
necessarily a nefarious thing.

See what happens when you dumb down the population and don't teach American Civics in skools?

196 Washington Becomes First State To Allow Human Composting
Study found the soil "smelled like soil and nothing else."

The State of Washington is now officially offering a third option for how residents can handle the bodies of loved ones after they've passed on: they can be turned into compost.

On Tuesday, the state's Democratic Governor, Jay Inslee, signed SB 5001 "concerning human remains" into law, which includes composting along with burials and cremations as a means of handling human remains. The law -- the first of its kind in the U.S. -- will go into effect on May 1, 2020.

On Tuesday, the state's Democratic Governor, Jay Inslee, signed SB 5001 "concerning human remains" into law, which includes composting along with burials and cremations as a means of handling human remains. The law -- the first of its kind in the U.S. --will go into effect on May 1, 2020. Alkaline hydrolysis is the reduction of human remains to bone fragments and essential elements in a licensed hydrolysis facility using heat, pressure, water, and base chemical agents. Natural organic reduction is the contained, accelerated conversion of human remains to soil."

The bodies are "mixed with substances like wood chips into about two wheelbarrows' worth of soil in a span of several weeks," Fox explains. The resulting compost can then be used by loved ones.

...

The new law "paves the way for Recompose, a project to build the first urban 'organic reduction' funeral home in the country,"

I remember when the automatic door, without the floormat sensor, was relatively new. There was an old couple that walked up and the door opened. They stared at it for a while, then proceeded into the store. The lady went shopping and the old man stayed near the door, studying it and watching to see if he could figure it out.

When the woman was in the checkout line finishing up, he took his hat off and tossed it toward the door and the door opened.

It is going to come down to the state and local governments. I think the separation from DC has already started one way or the other for many states. But it's slowly and ever subtly happening (sometimes not so subtle) with all 50 states. And there's even divorces taking place within the states themselves.

This could be a very good thing for some states and total disaster for others. Interesting times indeed.

Right. Because all cultures have value and all values are the same, so values from alien, repressive totalitarian cultures are perfectly compatible with life here in the USA.

Which is why domestic terrorist Bill Ayers came out of the weather underground, and became a professor of education at University of Illinois. Corrupt the teachers and administrators. Poison the minds of America's children, one generation after another.

235 Or, if I'm not mistaken, visit a site that uses
google trackers (probably the HQ), then eventually visit another site
where you search for "hangnail pain" or make a purchase?

Posted by: Moron Robbiemando at May 22, 2019 01:22 PM (EOEiY)

Yes, the HQ. Google-Analytics javascript. I'm sure it is all OK, though.

One thing I noticed a while back that when I click a twit link from the HQ or any number of right-leaning sites, twitter always responds with an error, I suspect because they are filtering by the referrer information passed in the http request.

Simply reload or copy and paste the link and there is no referrer in the http request, twit loads just fine. Been about a year now. Doesn't matter the browser or platform.

I remember when the automatic door, without the floormat sensor, was relatively new. There was an old couple that walked up and the door opened. They stared at it for a while, then proceeded into the store. The lady went shopping and the old man stayed near the door, studying it and watching to see if he could figure it out.

When the woman was in the checkout line finishing up, he took his hat off and tossed it toward the door and the door opened.

The primary problem isn't stuff like cookies, it's browsers built for spying (Chrome, MS stuff) and apps abusing their permissions on mobile devices, and/or operating outside of them entirely via workarounds.
They aren't just tracking browsing; they're actively spying via the microphone, camera, GPS, wifi and bluetooth info, etc. Also stealing any and all contacts, media stored on the device, and so on. And then you have other connected devices doing the same thing without even a set of permissions to tap through; things like TV's, camera/mic enabled game consoles, smart assistants, wifi security devices, doorbell cams, etc.

What do you want? For real? I appreciate that most of our institutions are at best useless and at worst tools of tyranny, but we have a guy that cares at the top now. Yes the bureaucracy is doing their best to hold him back, but they failed with Mueller, and all they're doing is hemorrhaging credibility. Even with their own people.

If you have a better idea that's a two man job, I'm probably down for it.

Leprosy was an actual (and horrifying) contagious disease (fully treatable now, I think, but not then).

Warning people away from someone with a horrible disease, while perhaps not a model of Christian charity, makes sense from a pragmatic perspective.

I'd say that the Middle Ages folks were far more justified in their behavior than the modern SJWs.

I remember hearing a story from long back Chinese history - an Emperor was in power who believed in Harsh Discipline for Everything, and Death for almost all crimes. Specifically, he decreed the Death Penalty for anyone who disobeyed any order, for any reason, no exceptions.

So a certain captain and his men, a small group, had been ordered to report to a base by a certain day. They encountered terrible storms and floods, which delayed them, and they realized they were going to reach their base one day late. Realizing that this was going to be an automatic death penalty for them all, they instead retreated into the hills and started appealing to everyone who was fed up with this Emperor's draconian rules. Within 3 years they'd accumulated an army big enough to overthrow the empire and kill that Emperor.

I think he's drawn challengers before it's a heavy R district and people that live there seem to hate him. He's a Ron Paul asshole. He's only in office because 2 more traditional conservatives split the vote in a primary.

456 Message To Amazon: Now that you have regular people making your home deliveries.. Maybe they should wear a Vest with AMAZON DELIVERY on it..... I almost shot a MF creeping up to my crib last night.... Just sayin.

Yeah, I'm happy Amazon gets things to my doorstep quick-like, but not thrilled with some of the people delivering.

I got a look at a driver who pulled in front of my house in a rattle-trap Geo Metro. Dude looked like a gang-banger, complete with a huge "MS" tattoo on his neck. He walked halfway up my driveway and underhand threw my package onto my porch.

Then I got a delivery notice on my phone, just like normal.

475 About a month ago, an article at PJMedia talked about a guy who ran a VPN that denied access to any Google url. The total was over 8 million urls, iirc. And a surprising number of things were blocked because they use Google stuff in places like backends or storage. Even creepier were the outgoing requests from his computer that were blocked. He found out about those when they started generating errors.
