Creepy as hell, kinda happy I'm not on facebook right now. The social credit thing is just getting out of hand, glad people are so insane about freedom here. I'm guessing the title black mirror has too with the darkest reflection of society. After all technology was made by humans, everything we hate about it, are things we hate that we created. 1 Quote
Juicy Posted April 3, 2018 Posted April 3, 2018 It's not farfetched to claim that modern society works adjacently with that of that black mirror episode. China is making it an actual thing thing though. That's scary. Quote

Exactly. That's what that episode basically taught us. Betch got too into it to the point of uploading the tech to a robot and then hiding him in the attic forever. 1 Quote
