Can we make a distinction between religious self-policing and China’s surveillance-based social credit system?
Maybe not all people are equally religious - maybe some practice non-panopticon faiths.
But surveillance is an external factor influencing everyone (possibly apart from the oppressors / party officials).
Can we agree that there is a difference?
