Libraries, Schools and Censorship, oh my.
I'm noticing a connection between censorship and the social credit scoring system we likely already have in the US.
Some time ago when I was coerced into renewing a library card (long story) they asked me for some information that could be used to damage my credit if I didn't return a book. Some public schools are also turning in parents if their children are not paid up on lunch money. Not sure if that info goes to credit agencies and/or CPS as well.
Bottom line: Given what we are seeing with Twitter and the censorship of conservative views down to reports of prominent people losing banking services (which we don't really need anyway) we need to consider that social credit scoring is already happening in America.
I suggest that libraries, schools and other community services no longer be financed with taxes, especially "property taxes".
Does anyone else remember that long ago you didn't have a 'credit score' for obtaining a loan? A bank loan officer actually had to review your need for a loan and ability to pay to make an individual assessment if they should extend you credit. I no longer believe in interest bearing loans as a desirable economic tool, however, if they are to continue at all we need to review the privacy killing involvement of Big Tech and easy credit in the process. My family (which ended with divorce and family separation) was decimated by easy credit.
